Killing Plants

Well, I think I have to call it. My jungle style of tank keeping, and the shade that it naturally brings, has caused the death of my single stem of Ludwigia guinea, single plant of Downoi, and probably my last remaining Erio of the two. I tried to float them in a last ditch effort, but they just melted away.

I really do need to get in there and clean things up, but it’s sort of one of those things where I don’t know where to start. It’s like a cluttered room that only becomes more cluttered. The only realistic option I think I have is to just tear everything out, but the amount of effort required for that is beyond the level I’m willing to give.

Oh, I may have to also add Glosso to the list of killed plants, not that I care much about that anymore, but the little bit I was keeping around has also vanished.
