    The leaves looks like becoming translucent.
    Is it some nutrient shortage?

    Another problem, middle of leaves seems melted. Can see veins clearly, like net.

    Did you add any liquid fert.? My tank have enough lighting, c02 & base fert. But my APPs & X'mas plants just melting away. After adding some liquid fert. of Iron & general liquid fert. Now all started to grow quite fine. It also could be one of the reason or maybe due to what type of plant, temp. & etc. Good luck to you.

    Some plants tend to melt away when first planted. Crypts sp. characteristics are often like that. So maybe you can give more details like type of plant, temp, ferterlizatiton, lighting etc.
    Cheers!!

    Sorry! Can't id the plant.
    Got it from ah pek.
    It is not a stem plant.
    New leaves grow out from the middle of plant near the base.
    Leaves are V cross section, have a short stalk, leaves about 2cm wide, about 10cm long, slightly rounded ends.
    My lights are 36W on low side for 2 1/2', water level is 12".
    Kept lights directly on top this plant.
    No base fert and use Sera Florena after every water change.
    Tank temp ~28-30

    Thanks
