Well, my first attempt at growing a beautiful carpet of Glosso in my little 10gal tank didn't turn out so well. I got a few bunches from my local PetORama, hurried home and quickly began weeding out the ones that didn't look to "healthy" to my untrained eye. I followed some advice on how to cut/plant the Glosso(tweezers, little y shaped sprouts) I got from a few websites posted on this site. After a few hours I finally got everything the way I wanted. After maybe two days I already noticed growth:cheer2: I thought everything was going great, my DiY Co2 was pumping out a steady stream of bubbles, lighting was adequate according to the sites I followed, I even added a couple shrimp to the tank to clean the foretold algae I might encounter. Then next week the Glosso grew about and inch and a half vertically! I trimmed it to about a quarter inch and replanted the trimmings into any little space available. Another week passed and the same thing except the leaves are turning yellow and most of the Glosso withered away and died. 
Where did I go wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh Oh! I like seven little snails in my tank now, Im pretty sure they hitched a ride on the Glosso, anyway, should I let them be or get rid of them? Thanks Again
