Honestly? I think it's little aquarium fairies that make crypts melt. Why? Well I planted 3 crypts of the same type in a 10g tank, all was great for several months. Had maybe 3-4 leaves melt off. Then all of a sudden BOOM 1 out of 3 decided to melt. I hadn't just done a water change, the temp in the tank didn't change, I didn't plant anything. In fact the tank hadn't been touched in a couple of weeks. It melted all the way down to nothin. The others didn't lose a single leaf. I'm still waiting to see if the roots send up new shoots but I'm not real hopeful.
