Can't tell if plants are healthy

[Sanfranman]

Can anyone tell from this short video clip, or pics, if my plants are healthy or dying? Not knowing is killing me. Sometimes my water doesn't test well and if my plants are dying, then it should help by removing them. Thanks

Well they don't appear to be dying but do have some algae on them and look like some of the broken/torn leaves need removing. Do you have any root tabs around the sword plants since they are heavy root feeders? What kind of lights do you have and how long are you leaving them on. You say your water readings aren't always good.... what readings are you referring to? Do you do 50% WC's weekly? If not how often and how much water do you change and what size is your tank?
