Any Tips On Sword Plants?

[fish_mania]

Hey all, I have just added 3 sword plants in my tank are there any tips any-one can give on keeping them in good conditions because some of the leaves are turning yellow already?

Ask in the planted section for better advice but what sort of wpg do you have? Do you add any ferts? Amazon swords ( i'm guessing are what you have?) can be farily heavy root feeders I think so maybe benifical to add some root tabs.

I was just wondering because i have a carbonated filter so will that take away the nutrients for the plants? i think its amaozn sword ones! no ferts yet!

they will do ok without root tabs, but it is neccesary to ensure that they dont die.
