Plant help

Hi

I have the attached plants in my tank. Reletively new. I've been trying to have plants for a while and still struggling to keep them alive. I have tetra substrate and sand in all my tanks. I use tnc fertiliser and also root tabs every 6 months. Have good lighting and good parameters. Any pointers?

The damage to the sword plants is being caused by the ancistrus/pleco, possibly feeding them with vegetables might help.

Regards any other issues, more details will help others advise 👍

Hi all,
@Keshiaking welcome to UKAPS.

The damage to the sword plants is being caused by the ancistrus/pleco, possibly feeding them with vegetables might help

That one, Bristlenoses love Sword (Echinodorus spp.) plants, but other plecs will <"cause similar damage">

I use tnc fertiliser

Which one?

Regards any other issues

Like @John q says <"the guidelines">, and any information you can offer, and a full tank shot, will all help. Have a look at <"Mysterious issue with multiple plants"> and linked threads, that should give you some ideas.

cheers Darrel
