Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi all,
I am new to aquariums. Though I have had my 20g tank for a year, I have not spent as much time learning and working with it as I should have. Anyway, I have planted amazon swords, which have been slowly declining. Although nothing is obviously wrong, the leaves are getting smaller and smaller over time with hardly any stems. I have low light (28 w) and am not dosing with any fertilizers. The fish load is light - 3 otocincluses and 4 tetras. I have recently had a major cyanobacteria outbreak, which seems to be under control now. However, there are still some sheets on the substrate, which I could not remove. The sword's decline has been happening before the outbreak as well. Any thoughts? It is sad to see plants slowly withering away. Many thanks!
