Anubias holes in leaves. Yes i do have a low lighted tank barely under the 1wattgallon rule which was suggested as the problem along with the chance that my pleco is eating it.

Other times Anubias plants may be sold attached to things like a lava rock drift wood suction cup or other decoration. The light is a Fluval compact lamp full spectrum 13w. Caladiifolia 1705 seems to have the similar problem in its NEW leaf.

Anubias plants may also be sold potted in a little plastic container. Typical for a lack of potassium K are perforated leaves or dying leaf tissue necroses. I have a 66 gallon with red cherry shrimp and Fluval stratum for substrate.

It is difficult to impossible to determine which metal you aquarium is lacking without detailed testing. But a lot of the time they are simply the victim of hungry fish and shrimp what we call herbivore damage. The leaves first develop yellow spots and then holes develop in those spots.

Substrate - Fluval stratum. In another tank 6g the anubias is getting brown edges. Tank - 24 inches x 12 x 15 inches.

Avoid damaged specimens at all cost they will not grow well if planted in the tank. And they might be. Not sure what it could be.

Also the roots of the anubias have quite a bit of algae on them as well. I posted earlier about my Amazon Swords were developing holes in its leaves. Its only in the older leaves.

Amazon swords need a lot more light than anubias and java fern do. No ferts in that tank but its a shrimp only tank. Or my SAEs.

Also the more mature leaves have a fair amount of algae growth and many on the anubias have holes in them. If I recall correctly holes in the leaves is from a lack of potassium which is a macro fert so Flourish doesnt help with this. By steph925 6 years ago on Aquarium Plants.

Potassium deficiency causes pin-like holes on the leaves of aquarium plants. It appears to be concentrated on the leaves. The only plants that dont appear affected are the aponogetons.

There is very little algae growth in the rest of the tank. They are nice and green and growing quite well with no algae on them or holes. Yellowing of the leaves strong indicates nitrogen but a good picture will help us further identify your issue.
