Anubia Deficiency

[tata]

In your opinion, what is wrong with my anubias?

I have a 100L aquarium. I am doing 10mL TPN weekly, and 10mL Florish Potassium, also weekly.
I have 78W T5 light.

What do you think it is the anubias problem?

Do you have plecos?

Do you have plecos?

No. I have one L200, caridinas japonicas, 4 otos, neritine snails.
I don't believe this is responsability of any fish

I tend to agree but I'm just trying to see if your problem is the same as mine. I have a similar looking plant, not an anubia, that shows the same pattern, just not with any yellowing.

Do you think it can be caused by excess light?

Looks like your L200 has been rasping on the leaves. (Edit: as the L200 ages it eats less algae and more vegetative matter) Try tossing in some blanched zucchini, cucumber or peas. Treat the L200 like its a pleco. The neritines could be taking a nibble at it if you are running out of algae in your tank.

Really? I never saw him rasping any anubia leaf. I saw him before on top of a echinidorus, but I though he was harmlessly just sucking algae.
He is now almost 2 years old, he is a nice adult with 5 inches (13 cms). In fact, after increasing CO2 levels and adding 5 amano shrimps, the tanks is almost algae free.

But, are you sure this are not signs of nutrient deficiency or excess of light?

IMO - Excess light + lack of CO2 = Holes in leaves

What changes have you made to the tank in the last month?
Also, can you provide more pictures please?

Well, I haven't made big changes on the last 2 months. I added 5 amano shrimpts to the tank who helped alot eliminating all the filamentous algae.

You can see 2 more pics. Please ignore the dirty window ;-)

Whats your opinion?
