Advice need on wether to trim or not.

[eugeneC88]

Hi all, my old tank was leaking so I changed to a new and bigger one. After one week, managed to transfer most of my shrimps over alive.

However I have this problem. This is this long narrow protrusion that is growing upwards from the plants(don't know what they are called) on the wood. I am not sure if I should trim them as it is protruding out of the water already. Do advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi Dazdaniel, mine grew out of the surface and dried off. Should I let it be?

I saw somewhere online in taller tank setups it flowers while submerged at the end of the tip. Maybe it needs to grow to a certain length. Since you tried cutting the stems already, I can try leaving the dried tip and see what happen next.

Hey guys, my papyrus didn't survive. It turned to an ugly colour and died off. Will try to go to a the LFS I bought them from and seek advise. Will keep you guys posted.
