plant help

So I have 3 ozelot sword plants and I just put them in my neons 38g tank that is cycling right now and they don't look too good. The tank is injected with DIY co2. Here is a before and after pic the first one was when they were doing very well and the 2nd is the uncycled tank with them. What should I do. Any advice on how to make them look better

are you giving them any ferts? What's the lighting like?

 

[o.jonathan.o]

I don't have fert and i would know what to get or how to use it and its 2 daylight 6500k cfls

 

[jetajockey]

Get some root tabs to place under the plants and a good all around fert like seachems flourish comprehensive. That's a good starting point, I would definitely start studying up on plant fertilization, it's just as important as lighting and co2.
