Problems With Egeria Densa (Brazilian Waterweed)

[Aquarist1234]

My Egeria Densa is turning brown and I don't know what to do! My parems:

Ammonia: .5
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 0
Ph 7.8
Alkalinity 120
Hardness 300
Chlorine & Chloromine 0
Temperature 77

I also use API freshwater aquarium salt 1 round tablespoon per 5gal.

Stop using salt IMHO. Most plants don't appreciate it and it does not evaporate. Easy to over salt !

Thanks for your HO, I'll stop using salt.

Your water may be too warm for it as well ?
It's usually a cool water plant.

I was looking at the pics and don't think this is an egeria densa! It's similar but I think petco didn't had it labeled right.

**Shocking **!!! LOL.
There are at least 3 or 4 plants that are sold as Anacharis, Elodea, etc...

One is ok in warm water the others die in warm water.
