    Describe your problem : 1) Christmas moss and some hairgrass turn brown and unsightly ,other plant not growing healthy. We introduce new plant during change of water everyweek due to lack of stock at fish shop. Last week I just bought 5 cups of Japanese hairgrass from Seaview and it turned brown now. The last batch from C328 is still healthy.Fish tank front.jpg
