    Hi,
    I had setup a 2ft cube tank (42 gallon) for three months.
    Most of my red plants will turn yellowish within couple of weeks.
    Here's some tank specs & husbandry:
    ADA Amazonia II & New Amazonia substrate
    24w x 4 T5 (6500k/14000k)
    - 2x aquazonic
    - 1x giesemann midday
    - 1x giesemann aquaflora
    Co2- 3bps
    Ph- 6.8 ~7.0
    Fertilizer dosage:
    ocean nurition trace+/iron+/fert
    Ocean nurition capsules
    Water top up & changes done daily. (changes 1~3%)
    Using aged tap water with seachem prime.

    Unhappy Re: Yellowish leaves

    Those red plant leaves had shrunk its leaf size as well.
    Instead of broad type had became needle type.

    Can i assume that when you bought it, it was not in water?

    When leave size changes, it indicates (sometimes) that its a plant that converting form.
