Dying Water Hyacinth
In March I bought some robust WH with big, green leaves. It slowly shrunk
down to tiny-leaved, mostly brown, ugly stuff -- which I pulled out and threw away last weekend. Why would this stuff be dying? I have a water lilly that's doing great & duckweek, watercress, canna, umbrella plant, water celery -- no problem. Any ideas?

Where do you live? In San Diego mine mostly survives the winter, but in
spring new shoots appear and many of the older plants do what you are describing. Maybe you got last years stock.

Do your fish like roots?

That always seems to help them along. BV.
