Limnophila heterophylla

[nigel bentley]

Hi guys,
I was hoping someone can advise on Limnophila Heterophyla please?
I planted two weeks ago and does seem to have grown a bit.
Noticed this morning with lights off especially, tops of plants look distinctly lighter in colour.
Just concerned this is normal or plant has a defiency, please see pictures
Tank is as follows:
400 litres
No co2
Api leaf zone weekly
Root tabs
Temp 23 deg c
Lights on 7 hours led
Nitrite 0, ammonia 0, nitrate 10ppm
Ph 8 .0 (although tad high but always stable)
30% weekly water change
Fish load is approx 30 various tetras and barbs, 5 nerites, 5 cory and twp bristlenose plecs.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks for reading.
Regards
Nigel

Limnophila Heterophyla is a lighter-coloured green plant that is normal.
You could add an All in One fertilizer as Leaf Zone only has Potassium and Iron present in the bottle.

Thanks very much for the reassurance. I do also give root tabs which I assume give the other nutrients but I will consider all in one fertiliser once leaf zone bottle runs out.
Thanks again
