Dang Banana Plant!!!

[blert]

Ok, ill try this. How does it float though? Mine has alot of roots and bananas

Once it has three or four leaves (depending on the size of the "banana bunch") on it will float around on it's own. One of mine has six large leaves on it and it stays floating at the top of the tank. The other one was floating around mid-top level with four leaves but I cut one off as it was an older one that got a few holes it and was browning at the edge. Now it bobs around at the bottom of the tank but a new leaf is about to open up so I expect to see it floating around mid-level again tomorrow.

Just loosely tie a piece of thread around it and tie the other end to something to keep it up at the top of the tank. It will get more light and may bounce back to life. While your at it dose ferts (if you haven't done so recently) and a shot of Excel (if you have some). If it starts to get better you know it's time for new bulbs or a lighting upgrade.
