Amazon Sword Stunted Growth?

[TekFish]

I have two Amazon Swords next to each other, is it possible they are affecting each others growth?

In short, no.
Whats your photo period and are you dosing ferts?

How long you had them as they're grown immersed, when added to tank they melt and re grow submerged.

Oh thanks around 3 months to PS3Steveo and to SLIM, I have them on for 10-12 hours a day, and I dose in-water ferts and root tabs.

Hmm ok this seems fine. Do the plants look healthy? How big/mature are they? IME swords can be extremely slow growers when they are young and small

 

[TekFish]

They look fine, all green an' happy 

 but just small.
 
I was thinkin of swapping them out for some Ozelots anyhoos, I was just wondering if this was what was happening.

Like i said, in my experience swords can be slow growers in low techs when young. They will grow given time. The important thing is they are healthy. Once they do get going they can go like crazy and get very big quick.

I have a couple of Ozelots.
Ozelot red and Ozelot green. Beautiful plants and fast growers.
Ild recommend the red species
Good choice of plant. I prefer these over swords.
