Water Wisteria Help

[aqua7]

My water wisteria plant has gradually lost leaves and now only a few remain at the top. What is going on? Anyone's help is appreciated.

What's your lighting and tank size? Do you use ferts?

I have two FL bulbs both 20w. The tank is 10 gallons. I do use liquid ferts from tetra. My other plants are doing great.

Could the dwarf gourami or zebra danios be the cause?

Yes new leaves have been growing, but only on the top.

What are you dosing with and what is the k on the bulbs? I have 2 20w 6500k bulbs which are on for 8 hrs a day and I dose 1.5ml daily of excel and 5ml weekly of API leafzone and I have to trim it at least twice a month.

I forgot to mention that I do see a new runner on the sides weekly.

I don't remember the exact name of the ferts (I'm not home at the moment), but it's Tetra brand. My bulbs are also 5600k.

Now the stems on the plant have somehow rotten and broken from the bottom and the plants are floating.

You are using the spiral bulbs correct? If not can you take a pic of your bulbs.

Yes I am using spiral bulbs. I think I figured out why it dropped all the leaves except the top ones. It seems that they do that when they're cramped.
