Amazon Sword Problem

[glendale15]

hi

All my amazon swords have holes in them. i have all different swords in too different tanks but they all seem to have this problem, does anybody know what could be causing this.

looks like somethings eating them to me... what is your stocking? could also be a lack of trace, what is your substrate too, because the majority of amazon swords get a lot of their nutrients from their root system.

Looks like your vegetarian plecos are rasping them. Swords are particularly vulnerable to this. There is fine algae on the leaves we don't see but the plecos do and they rasp it off and some of the plant along with it.

Lack of nutrients. Try putting some root tabs under them that normally works
