LITTLE_FISH *** Little Fish *** Master of Something Posts: 7303 Kudos: 1997 Votes: 670 Registered: 20-May-2005	eureka red, One reason could be that this plant (Ludwigia mullertii/natans, aka Red Ludwigia) is often grown emersed and the leaves it has are not suitable for under water. Does it shed the old leaves first? Do they get enough light (even if tank has 3.2wpg, maybe it doesn’t reach the base of this plant)? I also found some info that states that this plant tends to lose its leaves over time, I never had it so I cannot validate this. Hope this helps, Ingo Last edited by LITTLE_FISH at 22-Aug-2005 07:46 Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club
