sandaz Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hi, wondering if anyone can help me identify what deficiency I've got in my tank to cause all new growth to have large holes in them? All other plants seems to be doing well except for this one. Also seem to have green spot algae on older leaves. I use weekly: Flourish Flourish Iron Flourish Potassium Fourish Excel (2 x week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karina Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 New leaves means closer to the gravel - someone's got the sword munchies :gigl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandaz Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 It's a community tank with all sorts: Dwarf Loaches Algae Eaters Pleco Various Tetras Whiptail Flying Foxes What am I looking for? I noticed as soon as the leave shoots out it's already got the hole in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexyay Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Haha yup - it's probably the pleco. I found my BNs munched my plants - especially if they weren't fed properly. Flying fox (SAE?) and algae eater *might* be a possibility but I've personally never had them eat plants before - the SAEs can get a bit reckless when chewing up algae though, but a sword would be able to handle that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
