Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try reducing the light and adding root tabs. Fingers crossed!

My Cryptocoryne wendtii keeps melting, even though my tank params seem fine. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, pH 7.2. It's in a 20 gallon with sand substrate and moderate lighting. Anyone got tips to stop the melt?

I'm curious about keeping a bottom feeder with peacocks - would it thrive? Anyone have experience with this combo in their tank?
