I use the stuff in lotsa tanks. This one (my Son's tank) had a bunch and they started dying on me. I couldn't figure out why. Finally I realized something - they had no roots. The Cana's ate 'em :rolleyes: .

Thanks Melody. I am thinking of putting some in the 72gl. but I'm thinking of putting the roots in a filter bag or maybe in a pot.. I don't know how safe the roots would be with the Bl. shark.
