Hi everyone, I am new to planted tropical tanks and need your help. I have added different plants over the last few weeks. First some Java fern and moss, then some vallis and last week some amazon sword. I also added some floating plants (duckweed) about 2 weeks ago. The vallis doesn't look that healthy - the reeds look damaged like you could easily break them up and now the amazon sword is going paler and brown and developing holes in it.
Do you think the floating plant is taking all the light from them. The duckweed does cover about half of the top, and moves around depending on which direction the water pump is going, and also whenever I turn on the air pump it will move to a different place.
What do you think? I really would like to keep these plants alive as they look great.
