Yeah I'm hoping that was the issue. I lowered the dosage of fertilizer to try and get rid of the algae which probably hurt it even more instead. Both my nutrients and lights have been increased/fixed so hopefully the issue will be fixed soon. Although my plant is about a year old now, it was...

Ok, thank you so much for the info! Hopefully my plants will get better soon :)

If all of my leaves do end up melting will the plant eventually come back or is this the end for it?

As some of you may already know, I have three planted aquariums with no fish. Virtually all of my plants are doing fine, but not thriving. I am fertilizing frequently with liquid fertilizer and root tabs and just bought new and better lighting for one of my tanks so I'm supposing those aren't...

Yes that would make most sense, It was covered by heavy green water for a few months so that probably lowered the lighting quite a bit. However, I woke up this morning and I am now noticing the signs of the "melting" starting on other leaves. I was fine with loosing 3 or 4 leaves but from the...

Just impulsively bought a light so no need to convince me there lol. It was 14W which works well for my tank I believe. Still do let me know if it is partially the issue at hand.

I would have never guessed I would have so many problems in such a short period of time. Saw this. Never have had this happen before. Is it nutrient deficiency? Just fed it a few extra pumps of aquarium co-op easy green this afternoon. I've been trying to go a little easy on it due to a...

Loll!! Sounds adorable! Thank you so much! I love tiger lotuses so much which is exactly why I wanted more of them. I'll let you know if it grows as well!

Thank you so much! That's a relief, I can't seem to find it anymore but I don't mind snails (yet) lol.

I recently transplanted my tiger lotus bulb which I have had for 2 years now from one tank to another. Suddenly, it has started floating. Does this mean it is rotting? It has no leaves or roots, just the bulb. Thanks for any help.

What is this and why am I having so many issues :facepalm::banghead: I woke up this morning and saw this I don't even know what to do anymore. I tried to grab it and get it out but I lost it. Now I dont know where it is. I am a lot less concerned if it's a snail but something is telling me...

What's odd is that I don't have fish nor do I feed the tank. I only use fertilizer/root tabs. Is that the potential cause? Are they good for my tank? I did a water change and they just came back. As long as they don't hurt any future fish or eat my plants I'm fine with their presence. I've...

Woah! They look so cool! I really want to add frogbit to my aquarium as well, are they easy to care for? Wishing you the best of luck with your plants!

Update: Hello all, Thank you all for your help and suggestions, it has aided me very very much in understanding what these are. My absolute best guess about these white dots is that they are copepods. I have also found detritus worms I believe. As for what I'm seeing based on research mine...
