	Can it be saved?
just beginning Moderator Literature Nerd Posts: 1879 Kudos: 1380 Votes: 198 Registered: 17-Dec-2000	My anubias nana is in such a sad, sorry state. I had to bleach it in an attempt to get rid of the BGA in my tank (it didn't work ) and, although I thought I hadn't overdone it, the anubias is dying all over the place. What I want to know now is, is there any hope? Could it possibly be saved, and if so, how? Below are some pics of the anubias as it looks now. In one photo, you should be able to see that one of them has actually sprouted a couple of new leaves, which gives me reason to hope that something can be done. just beginning attached this image: [img]http://www.fishprofiles.net/attachments/422883.jpg"] The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde

Also check the long thick stalk (rhizome) and remove any soft "fleshy" feeling parts. A healthy rhizome should be solid (firm) feeling. Then continue with the ferts, and light (10-12 hours) and it should recover albeit slowly. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--
