What is wrong with this plant?

[mattmathis]

I have had these hygro difformis for several weeks now. They grow, and put on completely new growth at the bottom. I know I'm having a slight problem with BBA. And I have started dosing Excel and removed all of the algae I could by hand, by rubbing and removing leaves.

It seems like when the plant puts on new growth the BBA starts and once it gets on the leaves they start to curl up and turn black. Is this what is happening?

Thanks!

well im not sure,but maybe you should cut it back a fair bit and see wat happens.i doubt it will kill it hey it cant be any worse than wat it is now

Im no expert on plants but cutting it back wont help ... It needs all the size it can get I would think. That would be like taking a dying tree and cutting off a few limbs here and there... Doesnt make sense..???

Its obviously lacking something...
