How Do You Stop Leaves Going Brown?

[fish are friends....]

I have got 2 amazon swords in my tank. I also have some cabomba.

The leaves on my amazon sword keep going brown, how can i stop this?
Also i have noticed that the stews of the cabomba look like they are getting fungus on them, is this caused by the fish breaking the stems when they eat them?
Is there anyway i can stop this happening?

Cheers!


Also, any nice easy maintainance plants i could keep, maybe some red ones?

What are your tank stats? Lighting, CO2, fertilizers? Swords, especially amazon swords can be a very good indication of fertilizer deficiencies in tanks.

Thats probably where i'm going wrong then. I need to get some fertiliser i guess.
I have 25W light tube which came with my Jewel Rekord 120.

I am not very experienced with plants, so i will buy some liquid fertilisers and see if it makes any difference, cheers!
