Question about my Anubias and Amazon Sword..Plz help

[probassfisher010]

Here's a pic of the sword. You can see one leaf from the very bottom dying, the rest are doing great. I should probably trim more often but it's a pain.

Your case seems a lot worst than mine, so not sure what else you could do except maybe try adding some faster growing plants such as pythos to out compete the algae's nutrients?

If your talking to me, I've recently added a bristle nose pleco who's noticeably made a difference in 3 days, also just moved a flying fox over to this tank, hopefully they will combat it.

Op, as a look closer, it looks like you have black beard algae, which is different then what I have.

Thanks to all of you for commenting and as for this black beard algae, is this what I have on my Anubias? If so, I have two Asian suckers and I interest in a small pleco, will this help with the problem? And are there any other options to help fight the algae on my Anubias?

Yeah, sorry forgot to quote

And to the OP, i would try and find the root cause to the problem first before adding fish, since that could potentially just add to the problem...

So does anyone know what I can do to treat / combat this black beard algae?

Not sure if this method will work, but you can try getting a syringe and filling it with the appropriate amount of flourish excel for the tank size, and then directly dose the excel on top of the problem spots for a few days and see if it kills it off or not?
