After purchasing two new Anubias Congensis plants a few days ago, I have a total of six Anubias Congensis among the plants in my low light aquarium. The ones that were already in the tank have been there for about two months, and have done very well so far. The day I bought the new plants, I rearranged all of them, and two of the rhizome were divided, this is what made the six total.

The ones in the middle are doing great:

But there is one in the corner that started to develop "rot-looking" spots about four days ago, and it has spread to all of the leaves. Also, the Anubias Congensis directly to the right of it appears to be showing the same symptoms (please excuse the camera-hogging danio):

I do not know if these are the new ones or the old ones, or a mix. As soon as I finish my dinner here, I'm going to remove the diseased plants. But I'm wondering if anyone can diagnose? And provide the cause? Should I be concerned about the other fish/plants?

Thanks,

The good news is that I can subtract at least one of the day's complaints. I've had a case of the "missing" clown loach for the past few days, and he came out of hiding as long as I had the camera out. I only have three, but just two of them seem to stick together:

It is very probable that the anubias plants that you bought were grown emersed. When you submerge them, the leaves will die back. As long as the rhizome is healthy, new leaves will grow.
