It's normal for the roots of frogbits to shed. It's not the works of your shrimps that ruin it. I see that happened once in awhile in my tank. Just clear it using a tube while sucking out some water during wc.

No worries bro, after the plant sheds off old roots, new ones will grow. I think frogbits needs quite a lot of lights as compared to most moss. If you keep it under lesser lighting, maybe the roots will shed too, or that the leaves will turn yellowish. With sufficient lights, it grows very well and the roots can grow really long.
It looks annoying seeing so much roots hanging here and there but since it's good at absorbing amonia/nitrates/etc, i leave it alone. When i have too much frogbits, i culled them and feed to the bigger fishes in the office tank. |
