    Hi folks,

    Just started planting crypto (can't tell which particular species) 10 days ago and notice the leaves are disintegrating one by one but they are giving out bubbles really well.

    I read somewhere this is due to transplant shock and changes in water chemistry.

    Do I just leave it at it is hoping that it will get use to the living condition n start growing again? Need your advice.

    Water condition: pH 6.5 - 7, kH 3, light is about 1.5w/gal. 7hr. Co2 injection.

    thanks!

    You are looking at the very common 'crypto rot' syndrom.
    Happens when transplant and water condition change.

    Hope they survive.

    Just trim off and remove the melted leaves.

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
