In the two months since my six gallon tank has been going, I've noticed my stemmed plants are slowly dying while all the non-stemmed plants are doing well. The carbon source is Excel (soon to be CO2!), (K)NO3 is around 5 ppm, (NaH2)PO4 around 0,5 ppm. I did have very mild brown on the front glass as well as exposed roots and pin-point sized green algae on the glass. A slight increase in my Excel dosing stopped the algae. I have a single otto cat, three Amano shrimp, and three snails (not sure of the names).
I'm not sure of the names of my stemmed plants. The non-stemmed plants include duckweed, two java fern species - one thinner-leafed, the other thicker-leafed, a short grass, and a tall grass.
What could the stemmed plants be missing that's causing them to slowly fade away?
