I have a few blyxa japonica in my tank. I am running pressurized co2 and I dose with flourish excel every 3 days (1 cap on a 55 gallon tank). I have 1 blyxa that is growing strangely. Seeking help or guidance or being told to be quiet because all is normal. Here's the pic.

Hmm, can't speak to it growing weird as I never had them. But if you're running pressured co2, why the Excel?
 
Only thing I could think of is that stem was once under substrate trying to spread out.. snip top and replant l
Edit- or its reaching towards the light? Where you at there? Tank height?

Nice turks, and super rex white discus you got there. I just got some blyxa in week or so ago. I had a similar growth. I trimmed and replanted, like brookster stated, starting to grow ok now. Or so it seems.

I agree with Brookster. That's what it looks like to me too.
