So ive had an aquarium for about a year and a quarter with 5 zebra danios and 2 flame (or von rio) tetras. Basically, first i added some java ferns and those have been slowly growing well.
I also have some anacharis which at first grew, but then as the plant got bigger, the lower leaves on a long stalk would start to die. When some stalks of my anacharis would grow new buds, the lower end of the stalk would be full of dead leaves. The "dead" leaves look like a leaf which a fish just took a bite out of, but my fish dont eat it. Also the "dead" leaves are transparent.
Recently i also got hornwort, and it came partially brown and it only got worse. Also, i cut off the brownish parts from the green parts and the green part has been starting to brown slightly.
My tank conditions are 79f temp, 10 gallon, no ferts, no CO2, 30 watt spiral daylight cfl, and no known parameters because i dont own a test kit. I only have 2 6in hornwort stalks, 2 3in anacharis stalks, and a baby java fern (2in) and a 4in java fern.
Do these symptoms match up with any deficiencies such as CO2 or nutrients? Do i have too much light?
