Amazon Sword

[mooregary24]

Hi all
Have noticed lately since i have started using ei, that my sword plant is not doing as well as it was. It is full of holes and it nearly transperant. It is growing very well and is free from algae. Might this be my bristle nose fish destroying my plant or am i lacking something?

Can you get some pics of the holes? That will help people to see if it's bite holes or a deficiency! Bristlenoses are usually quite soft on plants

Hi
Hope this is clear enough. Camera won't focus any closer through the glass.

Hi all,

I'm pretty sure it is the Bristlenose(s).

Was thinking i would have to get rid of him. He got a bit big and is uprooting some plants as he darts about.
Thanx Gary

Defo the BN. I had to get rid of mine when I first started. Simply trim the leaves down near the roots and sometime in a months time the leaves will return stronger than ever!
