Shrivelled up leaves

I've started a new tank 70l and am 2 week into the cycle.

I've noticed that new leaves on the Ludwigia Arcuata are staying small and seem to be shrivelled up, this compares with the Rotala sp green growing nicely next to it

Any help much appreciated

Cheers
 
it sounds like its going through it transition from it emersed state to its submersed form. Plenty of co2 and ferts and it should turn out ok. Trim off any real dead leaves, some people cut the plant right back to the substrate but I don't.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip Dan, I also posted on my Journal and Clive said to double the fert dose :)
 
Hi- did you solve it?

Are you using tapwater or building up from RO?
