Are These Plants Alright?

[pompeydaz]

Hi ya I got these plants a little while ago, just wanting to know if they are ok? And what they are.

The far right ones seem to be turning colour pretty quickly to a yellowy/brown colour. Ive put in some flora boost to try help.

The two left hand side one aren't aquatic I dont think, and I'm not sure about the one right in the middle, between the browny one and the curly one.

The curly one i think is water wisteria, and the ones on the right hand side look to be amazon swords.

Oh ok, the ones you think arent aquatic are doing alright, the main problem ones are on the far right.

 

[hanny93]

Yes non aquatic plants can last a fair while when submerged, but then they just fal apart.

The ones on the far right, probably swords, are rhizome plants, meaning the white bit of the stem, just above the roots needs to be exposed, it cant be buried, because it starts to rot. This might be your problem.

The plants circled are non-aquatic:

What's the tank volume, how many Watts of light are over the tank and what kind of tubes?

It's probably a CO2 and Macro deficiency.

Roger that! I'll get them taken out tomorrow then! Nightmare haha...

Its got 2x juwel 30w. one day-light one warm light.

Yeah Ive got the root not in the sand either.

I agree with standby then, youve probably got too much light and not enough c02.

How long are the lights on for?

 

[pompeydaz]

I turn the light on for max 7hrs a day, sometimes less if I'm out. Its normally on if I'm in the house between 4-10 as I don't get all that much light where it is.

Oh and its a 180 litre juwel rio
