How do you keep amazon swords alive in your tank

[gomezladdams]

I got a few cause I had one years ago and remember it being very hardy.
The new ones started looking a little yellow so I added more light and they seem to be perking up.Mine are in sand and Im using root tabs supplied by the grower

Make sure you have a definate spot once you plant them because once their root system starts it goes on forever and the plant is a pain in the but to move.

Not a pain in the butt.... more a pain in the arm...

Swords require a bit of effort in ferts and light - and CO2 DEFINITELY helps.

They need fertilizers, good lighting, and CO2!
