As I type, I know this is a dumb question but as I'm not stranger to making a fool of myself, I shall carry on regardless...
Is 'melt' contagious?
I had always assumed that it was 'plant-specific' (for want of a better term) but following a bout of melting Staurgyne a nearby and previously healthy and growing Marsilea hirsuta has just turned to mush in 48 hours.
I'm having the normal problems with melting crypts but as these had been moved from a previous set-up, I wasn't hugely concerned.
The only change in water conditions has been the addition of pressurised CO2. Dosing liquid ferts daily and as there are no fish in the tank as yet, I'm making sure to dose plenty.
Anything I'm missing or is this just normal transitional behaviour from a new plant?
