# I had this monster in my fish tank and it got rot I’ve been trying to…

_Posted by Ashley on 2025-06-24_

I had this monster in my fish tank and it got rot I’ve been trying to regrow it and every time I start to get roots it gets rot again🤦🏼‍♀️ can I jut cut the little shoots off and root them? I marked where I would cut but want to make sure first. Thank you 🫶🏼
