vusua4me Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The leaves turn brown and develop holes on them. Look like the tank have trace element deficiency. I do water chance regularly, every two days with 40% water of the tank. Keep doing so for more than a month, it helps but the diseases are not going away. What should I do next? Is there any chemicals to balanc elements in tank thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewels Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Is this happening to a specific plant or a variety of plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusua4me Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Is this happening to a specific plant or a variety of plants? Yes it's happening to one type of plant in the tank ( I don't know the name of plant) others are doing good in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubr0ke Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Can you take a pic?.... Plants needs vary ...or it just might not be a true aquatic... if you don't have a pic maybe try finding it at Tropica Plant list Im guessing its a potassium deficiency but none the less a pic would help.

vusua4me Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) With reference to the above "tropical plant list" One of my plant is Alternanthera reineckii 'Pink' (roseafolia) (023) The other plants in the tank (Anubias barteri var. nana,Echinodorus tenellus , Echinodorus osiris) are doing fine. Try to upload photos in forum but no luck. ( Upload Skipped Error 406) [/url] Edited April 2, 2011 by vusua4me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubr0ke Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 first tell me about your tank.... lights?...co2?...ferts?...substrate?... I could just blame it on nutrients but I need more info to see if it something else is affecting nutrient intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvianAquatics Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 This happened before to me too where the problem affected only 1 type of plant. Usually for me they never get better and I end up just giving up and throwing them out. I find that generally if the plant I bought was initially healthy it would stay that way, but if it had these hole problems then they tend to never get better. Good luck on yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Althernera is a super high light plant and the rest of your plants are okay in medium light. As it's a red plant, it does need some iron too. Good luck with it as I've killed it at least twice :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleshgear Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 what about fish? or snails? i "had" a loach that did that exact thing to a few of my plants. my plants are now just recovering from that. what fish do you have in there?
