I use tabs approx. every 4-6 months.

Thanks! The plant is fully submersed. The leaf has been like that for a while and doesn’t look to be dying. All new leaves have a reddish look but normally turn green when fully developed. Full picture attached. It’s a large plant so a little difficult to get a good picture.

Hi Guys, Any ideas wha could be causing some of the leaves on my sword to look like this? I dose with macro and micro daily and use root tabs for my bottom feeders. Parameters: 50% water change every week Temp: 79F / 26C PH: 6.75 CO2 pressurized injection: 25-30 ppm NH4: 0 ppm NO2: 0 ppm...

Hi Guys, One of my plants, a radican sword I think, has a few leaves that look burned. See attached image. Any clues what this could be? It's only the leaves reaching the surface having the problem. My Anubis has some green algae leaves problems. My crypts look really great but older leaves...

Hi Guys, One of my tetras is missing part of the stomach area. Any ideas? I've attached a picture where it's quite visible that something is wrong. Thanks, Lars

Could very well be. I noticed the upper side of her mouth looks injured. As if a small piece is missing.

Hi guys, Any ideas what this could be going on with my swordtail? She has a white spot under the scales just behind her head. Looks like the scales in that area are coming loose. Water: 0 Nh4, 0 No2, 5-10 No3, KH 6-7, GH 12, PH 7.5, Temp: 78F Tank: 33G, 30% water change every week Filtration...

I thought so too initially. But the oriental sword is known for the semi-transparent pink coloration of new leaves. Mine are all light green.

I did som research and think it's a radican sword. It was pretty big when I got it with very long stems. Fits the description of a radican sword pretty good. Found this picture through google:

A better picture of the first plant. Any ideas what it is?

Fast reply. Thanks. The first one has a very large stem and the leaves are more or less floating on the surface of the water. Is this a sword? I will see if I can get a better picture tomorrow.

Hi Guys, Could you help me identify 2 plants in my tank. The first one is a background plant approx. 15-20'' tall. The second is a foreground plant approx. 1-2'' tall. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. I will enjoy the plant and make sure it gets enough nutrients.

Thanks Sinibotia. Aquarium is up and running with fish. All values look great. Lars
