Some Help On Pruning

[CheekyCheeze]

I just bought some Amazon sword Plants recently and some of the leaves are going a bit weird.
It is like as if the tops of the biggest leaves are rotting away, just at the tips...
My camera is pretty bad but here is a picture

Should I prune these leaves, or do you guys think they will heal.

Thank you

New plants often do this when first added to the tank. The plant should start producing new leave to replace these. You could cut affected leaves off but make sure the plant still has some so it can photosynthesis. I.e. remove them gradually as and when new leaves are produced.

Most aquarium plants are grown out of water in a hydroponic setup, or a marsh system. The roots are wet but the leaves are dry. When you put the plants under water the emersed leaves rot away and the new submersed leaves should grow through. The submersed leaves are softer and more flexible than their emersed counterparts.
When the leaves look too disgusting cut them off at the base with a sharp pair of scissors.
