Banana Plant Dead Leaves

[Sabercat]

I was reading that once a leaf on this plant starts to die, the plant can not rehabilitate it back to health. I just bought mine and it has a leaf that is not fully green, but it's not dead all the way. Can somebody tell me wether I should cut it off or just leave it be? Thank You in Advance!

It could be a new leaf that started to grow a few weeks ago. I would leave it on.

Okay. Thank you. I'm new to all this planted tank stuff. Hopefully I don't kill it.

One last question. I have a 3 gallon with only a betta, and a banana plant. I need a algae eater or pleco. What do you recommend that is compatible with both bettas and plants?

I would suggest some shrimp Amano, red cherrie and ghost shrimp will be compatabl. They will eat algae off plants rocks and drift wood.
Are you are looking for a fish that will clean off the glass? if you are the shrimp won't do that. And no other fish that do clean the glass will live in 3 gallons. May I suggest a tooth brush for the glass just scrub the glass with each water change.

No you don't need an algae eater.
A. Not enough room

Put your light on a timer. Don't overfeed. Change water weekly or twice a week if needed.

Lights only need to be on 6-8hrs daily. No direct sunlight.
Algae is a sign, something is out of balance.

No shrimp, the Betta will kill them. Ghost Shrimp may survive.

Plecos are poop machines and even tiny species usually need at least 20g.

A Snail will starve unless you plan to feed it.
