    Default Glossostigma not working well

    I have a month old 15 gallon with 30 watts of light, and media I brought over from an established and well growing 33 gallon tank.

    I bought some baby tears in a tub, as well as some dwarf hair grass and to start it was difficult to get them to stay down. I had to use some of the fluval substrate to help bury some of it.

    I split up the hairgrass and have yet to see how it will do. But the baby tears are starting to lose the bright green they had as well as another fine cabomba like plant (it has basically turned to mush).

    Has anyone else had problems with the aquaflora products?

    Are you pumping in CO2? All of the plants you listed need CO2 and lots of light plus most carpet plants are difficult to grow properly. From what you said (30 watts of light over 15 gallons), the lighting doesn't seem to be a problem.

    Also, Aquaflora plants are all tissue cultured, so their plants are in emersed form and usually require a transition period (emersed leaves melt away leaving only roots and then new submersed leaves grow back in place) back into the submersed form.

    whats your problem with the glosso is it the planting you have problems with or the plant growing? how long have you had glosso in your tank? give it about a week for it to adjust... and to add what Vdub said... are you having Co2 in your tank? are you dosing fertz? make sure you are dosing fertz, co2, and good light your glosso should start to grow back...

    i had aquaflora glosso and they grow well and fast... they just to be planted properly and given time to adjust. hope that helps
