Due to the standard lighting that comes with my aquarium I've struggled to get plants to thrive, but have had no problem with what I think is Vallisneria (some is straight and some grows with a twist). It has no problem sending out shoots to start new plants and continually having to trim the length as it grows across the surface.

Until recently a ill health fish prompted me to use Interpet Anti Internal Bactria treatment and Anti Fungus & Finrot treatment (not at the same time and after partial water changes). The fish is recovering, but since the treatments have been introduced algea seems to grow on the glass faster and my plants are going brown and transparent.

Is this a result of the treatment or do I have another problem?

Will the plants recover once I stop treating the water?
 
Are you feeding your plants anything. What plants are they. What kind of lights you got. What kind of filter you got. How many fish you got in what size tank. Do you add CO2. All of this can effect plants.
 
if it wasn't there before and now it is, then yes medication. I would toss in some carbon filter to absorb the left over. You probably have a phosphate surplus :nod:

I had to treat my 70 gal with an external parasite med ...... it killed about 30% of my java fern ............I almost wsh I had taken the fish out for treatment ... :dunno:

Do you only have one fish ? , or was it one fish that was infected ?
