Hello,
I've owned a 70L tank for about 2 years now. Fish are happy and healthy.
The plants on the other hand aren't! Every month or so I end up taking out what's left of them as they all eventually die off. The leaves don't seem to go brown, they just disappear and within a few weeks all i have left is stalks!
I don't bed them down with any fertilizer or soil just place them into the gravel, is this important?
Could a lack of light be a possibility? I have a 15W bulb which is on about 4 hours a day. The aquarium is near a window but never in direct sunlight.
I don't think the fish are eating them, i have 8-10 tetras, 3 platies and some danios.
