Anyone keeping clover in their tank? I cannot get it to do well, but do great with other plants?

Why does the clover always suffer and fade away in my tank? I have a super planted tank with many different species of plant, very strong lights, and have tried clover twice, just to have it slowly shrink away to nothing. All my other plants go crazy with growth (cryptos, wysteria, several types of Ludwigia, temple, hornwort, water lily, onion, swords, java fern, java moss, banana plant, pennywort, Rotala, and Anubias).

Could the pleco or platies be eating it or something? It is the only plant that I just cannot win with! Any tips of clovers would be great.

The tank has 50-50 compact fluorescent on all day and 300 watts of 6700K halide for about 5 hours a day, CO2 system, is a 125 gallon, deep aquarium plant substrate, runs about 82 degrees and has a pH of 6.5.

I have a few sticks of clover left that are hanging in there. Any tips on bringing them back?

    My cousin used to have a 55 gallon aquarium with clover and he never got the hang of trying to keep the clover alive.

    I just wondered sometimes.
