I only have two swords in my planted tank. I am getting about 12 more assorted plants though on Friday when my shipment comes. The swords have been doing fine but I have been noticing they are losing their clorophyl. There's about 5 leaves altogether that you can see through. The tank is well established. It has 2.6 wpg. I do a 20% water change weekly and add Kent's Freshwater Plant fertalizer. I have about 1.5 inches of Shultz's Aquatic Soil under the gravel. My fish include 1 bristlenose pleco, 3 ottos, 3 rosy barbs, 1 buenos aires tetra. Why is this happening?
Another question. Why don't my 3 ottos and pleco get the algae? My piece of driftwood is filled with algae and there is usually algae on the glass 3 days after doing a water change.
I like to attach pictures so here's a picture of my plants for the first question.
