Plant - Fittonia argyronauta

[KhanJee]

Almost 2.5 months now. All the plants in my tank are growing well except these "Fittonia argyronauta" & "Fittonia verschaffeltii" (see pictures)

When I bought it there ware many leaves but within week all were gone. Then it started producing new stems/tenticals with small leaves. Fittonia verschaffeltii is already dead and I have removed it but I want to save this Fittonia argyronauta.



Whats wrong with this plant? What shall I do? Its not growing at all. Any idea?

All other plants are growing very well, See my tank link http://www.imagehosting.us/index.php?action=show&ident=1130031

Every link I find about it is in another language, but apparently it will only survive a tops of 1 month submersed. It's a terrarium plant according to most of the links google brings up.

Sorry forgot to mention, plant names I have picked up from German website. I don't know the English name of this plant.

The extensive white lines signalize instantly that it is not a real aquarium plant. Therefore, it will never last in an aquarium and even if your plant might SURVIVE it will never thrive, just slowly die and pullute the water.

The German Homepage "Dennerle" also states that it is a terrarium plant and will survive submerged only for 3-6weeks.
