I just got an amazon last week. The leaves seem to be growing ok but I can see veining. I suspect it is deficient in some nutrients? I am using JBL ferrotabs and dupla plant drops.

Cheers,
Alex

any chance of a photo?
are the veins greener then the leaf, or yellow against the leaf?
is the leaf bright green or yellowing?

I'll try to take a photo when I get home. The leaf and the veins are both green.

Here's a picture of the amazon sword. I noticed some of the leaves are a little yellow. Btw have a BN catfish.

that sword looks fine, possibly a bit of a nitrogen and magnesium defficiency, give the tank a shot of florish, or half a tsp on espon salts, stick some root ferts around it and it will be fine.

Thanks Illusn. I'll look into getting those in. I believe nitrates shouldn't be a problem since I have 2 discus in there.
