So my Amazon Sword has grown quite large. It's now sending flower stalks to the surface. I con't seem to find advice regarding a concern I have. I understand that the plant wants to send these stalks out of the water in order to produce flowers. Naturally the humidity in my home (New York in...

Hi I have had this amazon sword for around 9 months or so atleast, It is very large, most of the leaves are doing well and all are long instead of the round shape they originally were, It seems to be doing well aside from a browning leaf here or there I usually remove it is in a 55 gallon...

I have a 55 gal, high tech, started about 7 months ago. After battling several issue I have it now on PPS-PRO and my plants are exploding with growth. Is there anything I can do to get my amazon sword to shoot some runners? I would like to get one or two more in the same aquarium. The amazon...

I have a 75 that's been running for about two years ago and I wanted to see what others feel about the plant maintenance I've been doing. The substrate is all Eco Complete ( I know, some love it, some hate it). When I first set it up I added Seachem fert tabs and I've been adding them every six...

I'm struggling with these swords in my tiny tank. Absolutely no idea why I bought such a large plant for such a small tank. It was in the early days of the tank and I had basically no knowledge or experience. I can't get them to grow properly; they have always had some kind of deficiency which...

Hi, first post here. I've been wanting to do planted tanks for a long time and the opportunity came up for a cheap setup at a pretty remarkable price, so I got a 40 gallon long aquarium. However, I might have made a few mistakes, and I'd like the input of veterans. I watched a rather simplistic...

Hi I have Amazon sword which I had kept in fish tank. But my fishes were biting it. So I kept in seperate bottle outside where it can get natural light with few snails. Its being 3 months and I see they are melting now. The old plants have melted while new leaves are weak but green. Please...

Hi, I'm new at the forum as well in planted tank. I bought a 20 gal Top Fin aquarium kit from Petsmart two months ago and I have been stocking it with plants, snails and fishes. At this point I have some concerns about my plants since some of them are not doing well: #1: I rescued an Anubia...

I'm fairly new to planted tanks and this is also my first post to the forum. Sorry... this is sort of long. I've had a 29 gallon tank for about a year now but I redid it 2 months ago. When I redid it, I added 2 amazon swords (plus some other plants). I got a fairly large bleheri amazon sword...

I bought some Amazon swords and left them for about 2 weeks, half submersed outside before planting them, however I'm not sure if it's normal for the roots to look like that: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Are they rotting? I...

I did not invest in some good lightning set nor do I have co2, but that won't be necessary other than the lights since I'm going low tech. For the moment, my LFS is selling the plants for dirt cheap, so I thought I'd buy a handful amount before they go out of stock. Would putting the plants half...

Hello Everyone, After a grueling bout with saltwater aquariums that left me bruised, I converted my Innovative Marine 20 gallon NUVO Fusion into a community/planted tank. During the great salt tragedy of 2017, we were simultaneously (yet successfully) running a freshwater Fluval Edge 6...

I currently have a three gallon tank with an African Dwarf Frog, a Ghost Shrimp and a Nerite Snail. Sadly the tank is a cheapo Walmart tank with a small little LED light. I have a Amazon Sword and it is having trouble growing and continues to die off. I just bought some root tablets in order to...

I have a ten gallon betta tank running two biological filters, lit 8 hours per day with two 7W CFL bulbs (275 lumens, 6500 K). I just switched over from inadequate bulbs that were killing my plants and promoting brown algae. I have everything planted in black Eco-Complete substrate, and dose...

I just have a quick question about my amazon sword. I've noticed that some of the leaves look a bit wrinkled. But I don't know if this is what it's supposed to look like or if maybe there's a minor calcium deficiency. The plant looks healthy anyways because I add flourish tabs and O+ tabs...
