Maybe I should be more specific. It was from my LFS, they are close to my home so I expect their water to be close to mine as far as parameters, but it was in a pot. The guy would not give me the pot, but it was (is) a nice little plant, about three inches high w/ eight leaves, one really melting right now. So, I suspect that if they do not like change, then ripping it out of it's pot and jamming it into my sand substrate will not be the best thing for this little plant.
Let me add that I am waiting for my compact fluorescent fixture to arrive in the mail, so right now there is like a regular incandescent bulb over the tank just for my fish. I know they are considered Low Light plants, but this can't be helping matters, can it?
