Plants Look Like There Goin To Die ?

first 2 defo not aquatic. The second is 1,000,000% not any sword or any other echinodorus species!!!

The 3rd looks like vallisneria Spiralis.

I was hoping for a full tank shot to solve the mystery though. These 2 plants are one problem but that doesn't really solve the problem with the last plant.

going on the last picture they have yellow leaves and pinholes starting to form. Which show signs og Nitrogen and Potassium defficiency. Buy seachem flourish or tropica plant nutrition+

The 1st is something I've seen called Fountain plant (Ophiopogon Japonicus).....bought some for my son's tank and they all went like this and died (even with putting plant fert in the tank!!)

The 2nd is Dracaena.....not an full aquatic plant, usually seen as a houseplant if you leave it in the tank it will rot and polute your tank, take it out pot it up and stick it on a window sill.

The 3rd is Vallisneria Spiralis........ it looks like it's in need of some nutrient to me.

Hope this helps,
Leanne

And just so you know this is an Amazon Sword plant

thanks will buy some 2morrow well i just took out them plants lol cant believe they wasn't even aquatic
 
Don't worry about it.......LFS and nurseries try to sell these plants all the time, I had some lad try and sell me a drac on Thursday until I told him it wasn't a full aquatic!! At least you know for next time, might be an idea to look at some plants and then post what you like on here and see what everyone says/advice. If you want to get something similar to the Drac have a look at either Java Fern or Windelov.

Good luck,
Leanne
