It was a buch of long green leafed plants (straight up, long as in 10 inches or less) that was in some gel stuff (i washed off the gel) and i placed them within the gravel of my freshwater aquarium (about 2 inches deep, but the bulbs were so numerous that it was hard to keep them all covered adequately). The plants' leaves have since been "dissolving" towards the end of the tips (going downward). They look clear and have been releasing these "frayed" little particles in the aquarium (which my fish like to engulf and immediately spit out). I ripped the tips off as much as I could, and a lof the plant still looks to be doing well.
i only have 2 very tiny minnows in my tank (a 7 gallon) and I was wondering if this could be caused by the lack of fish and therefore the lack of nutrients for the plants (fish feces)? Any tips? The temperature is around 70 or a bit lower, and I do have a light. I havent used fertilizer or any tabs or anything because everyone I know who has a fishtank told me it wasn't necessary. Plus, my fish were very sick and since they've been in this tank, they've been getting a lot better so I didn't want to add any chemicals or anything.
Thanks
