This might be kind of a vague question, but a few of my amazons are turning yellow torwards the top of the leaves.
What is this normally a sign of?? Lack of nutrients? Lack of light? I will try and get some pics if you think it would help out a bit. They seem to be sprouting some new leaves still. ALso some of the other ones are beautiful and seem to have no flaws at all.
 
hmm well whats your set up ? tank, light, using co2 or dosing ? if i remember right this is an indicator of iron deficiency. just get a good liquid fert if its a small tank or consider dry ferts for a larger tank .
 
How long have they been submerged? Have they already gone through their emersed growth shed?
 
This is the 220 that I put a pic of up a little while ago. I don't think they ever "shed" so I am assuming or hopeing this is what is going on. They did go for awhile without any iron in the fert. I just started adding iron about 2 weeks ago. I am using a product or 2 products from Kent. One has no iron and the other does. I used some root tabs also. Maybe it is time to replace some root tabs als?
Thx for the quick replies.>
 
If they haven't lost their emersed growth, then it is likely this is all that is taking place. Post a pic.
 
Wyld I am having some issues for some reason getting the pics at a good quality. I will try again later this evening and try to post them them. Is it detrimental to trim the yellowing ones off? I will take pics before I trim though of course.
 
If it is shedding emersed leaves, then just leave them. If it is in its submerged growth already, then clip the leaves.
