Hello
I recently set up a 55 gal tank. It has been running about 2 months now. About a month ago I bought some plants from a chain store, and at first they seemed to be doing well. However as time as gone on they all started to look "shabby".
At first I thought it was my lights were not providing enough usable light for them so I bought some better lights. But that did not seem to help.
Tonight I finally decided to look them up online to see if any special care was needed for them that I was not providing. Everything I have found so far indicates that these are not aquatic plants.
The common names for the plants are:
Peacock Fern
Aqua Fern
White Ribbon Plant
Umbrella Plant
Is this correct? I am really sorry I did not research this more before getting the plants! I can provide the scientific names also, but I really just wanted to make sure the information I had found was accurate.
