Dear all,
somehow, my Blyxa Japonica is showing some yellow leaves.... Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the plant? Lack of nutrients or ...? Thanks!
Only the Blyxa have problem?
What about other plants?
Are all the Blyxa having this problem or only those planted in the shade or under light source?
For my case, I found that those planted under very strong lights seem to show golden colour in the newer leaves. Those not under strong lights remain dark green.
Perhaps you can also fill in the data sheet to let us know the setup/ problem better.
Cheers!

This plant require very stable environment such as PH 6-7 and carbonate hardness 2-3KH, high lighting and my temperature is kept below 28 dC.
It takes a long time to stablise. After 2-3 months it is doing very well.

My ricca is growing in mass but never bubbled b4, i supposed its the large quantity of fish and shrimps inside my tank??? Abt 100 Cardinal Tetra and 100 malayan shrimps inside...
My java moss is doing fine as well, they are growing on the driftwood provided...
you reminded me of another plant but i dont know its name.. its a stem plant with long leaves and the leaves are like... dropping everyday. There are lots of tiny holes in the leave and it turns yellow before it came off the plant.
the rest (donno their name) are growing as well... probably i should add a picture of my tank for viewing.
As for this B. Japonica, i had place some at places with strong current(strong lighting) and some at location with less current(strong lighting)... the leaves turns yellow at both location.
So i was wondering if they are lack of some kind of nutrients??
By the way, how to add pic here...?
