So far I've only noticed it on one stem of one plant...
It was a stem of my Shinnersia Rivularis (mexican oak-leaf plant)
It was floating on top of the water after it (apparently) drifted out of the gravel.
Underwater, it looked okay, but when I picked it up several of the leaves had a slime consistancy, and stuck on my hand. I gently felt some of the other leaves and they too were mush.
The stem seems perfectly fine, and the very top set of leaves look okay, but the rest of the stem is completely naked.
I cut the bottom 5" off of the stem and planted it, but what could have made the leaves dissolve?
It was in my filterless 5G which is still cycling...
I suppose it's possible it was bruised, but SA seemed to have everything packed really well.
Also, the rotala indica stems seem to be getting kind of soft too.
All my plants in both tanks have noticable growth but is there something I'm doing wrong?
Is this a warning sign?
