i know atfer transportation it will start too melt, so i let it go , it started to melt more and thats where all my oil came, i rubbed the leaf and it was oily


but anyways i pulled it up and the rhmoznes or rotting away, and it started to smell like sulfur

i pick away the good ones and the bad ones and cut of any rhmoznes that wer mushy,

well i think that plant is history

So what responce are you expecting? Are you trying to tell us you kill plants for no reason. This is one of those posts I was taking about in our pms. It does not make sense

I have had oil film on my tanks and nothing was dieing. It is normal in a planted tank IME.
If the rhizomes are rotting then they are dead. You might want to let them float for a day or two BEFORE planting next time to avoid that.
I did not say you were - all the time,but sometimes you come ACROSS that way. I am guilty of that too sometimes (rarely)...So who am I to talk:icon_roll

That oily surface is on top of the water? Its like a milky substance? Thats protein from what I understand.
