I have Anubias and other plants that love plenty of water movement via an air stone. I have read recently some plants prefer a still water. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

I have been told and now have seen for myself that some plants die off a bit before growing new growth when they are first introduced to a new tank. This process seems to take some time, maybe even a few weeks. So, maybe be patient and see what happens. Can you move the air stone?
