Newly introduced Cryptocoryne wendtii Green melts

[Zenislev]

I have a couple of newly introduced Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green in my new 2ft tank. After around 3days, i can actually see the leafs slowly melting away. Is that normal?

Hi Zack,

In general, crypts are known to melt whenever it is introduced to a different environment. Though Cryptocoryne Wendtii are reported to be the more hardy and less prone to melting, it is still possible. I would say there's no cause for alarm.

It's normal. Give them some time and new leaves will grow.
