Tapegrass
 

Hello Everyone!
I recently bought some tapegrass from fla off of ebay! I planted them in my 275gallon tank outside-when i recieved them they were very nice and green but now about 2weeks later they are all turning a lite yellow allmost see-tru! I have about 10 tapegrass plants in there 5 i put in pots and 5 i planted in the sandy bottom (all totally under water w/good airation)! There is a little green close to the roots but NOT much is this normal-WILL THEY SURVIVE?
THANKS AGAIN
ROBBY

Doesn't look good, Robby....whatis the water temp?

Re: Tapegrass
 

water temp is around 60 degrees

Light.....more light.

Is there anything in the water for the grass to eat? Nitrates, detritus, etc.?

Actually i put a pond pack (that i bought from Menards) around each group of Tapegrass!

I am guessing that you have a light issue, meaning not enough.

BTW, I may be able to get you the C. textilis sometime next week....it has been cool here and your plant has grown slowly. It prefers warmer water than your tank has right now.
