if you had the tank set up for a long time before you added the crypts and always keeping the same soil then it "could" be because the substrate is loaded with the fish (how can i put it) crap? hahha, basicly...


if it is newer set up and brand new gravel, i do notknow...


mine are growing well with flora max bottom and eco top. the usteriana walkerii leaves get a lot of damage...am i missing something?
