need help with my plants.

[Mr.Kiet]

Hi, I'm fairly new to here and to fish keeping. Anyways, I have a few plants that seems to have problem and I don't really know what's wrong with it. So I snapped a few pics and hopefully someone could tell me what happened to them and what can I do to avoid/cure them. Thanks in advanced.

PS: sorry the size is kinda big.. but just hoping to give you guys a better vision of what wrong with them.

The first plant is a sword in it's emersed growth. They will lose their leaves given time and regrow aquatic leaves. The second plant is kyoto grass, and not aquatic at all. They will die off in your tank. The third plant on are all aquatic, and look to be starving. What type of light do you have, and what are your parameters?

 

[Mr.Kiet]

What do I feed them when their starved? My lights are 2-15 watts Fluorescent. And I'm not sure what parameters is? Sorry, wasn't born and raised in the States.

 

[WyldFya]

Parameters are going to be nitrogen (all three forms), potassium, and phosphates. Measure these, and that will help. How long is your photo period?

 

[Mr.Kiet]

pH - 7.6
Ammonia - 4.0
NO² - 5.0
NO³ - 5.0

Potassium, phosphate, photo period? Also, remove that Anubias from the pot. It is not a good way to keep them.

 

[Mr.Kiet]

I have no idea what those are. I bought a water test kit at my LFS a while ago and thats all i could provide... BTW which one is the Anubias? Yeah I'm newb like that... sorry if i'm frustrating you.

The anubias is the one with the plastic pot around the roots.
