Hi there,

Here are my thoughts:
1. You probably need more light. At a minimum you'll need 2-3 watts
per gallon. I'd say that is major drawback on plant growth.

2. You might consider CO2. A homemade set up can easily be made with
some pop bottles, sugar, and yeast. The results are dramatic. Your plants
and fish will be much happier.

I have an amazon sword, anubias, java fern and african fern in a 26 gallon
tank with a 15watt fluorescent light.

Everything other than the anubias is getting yellow leaves (old ones) and
holes are appearing in the leaves as well. I know I don't have that much
light but i get a lot of non direct light through the windows during the
day. I'm thinking fish food might not be enough fertilizer for the plants.

What's recommended to fertilize aquatic plants? Is there a liquid I can add
to the water, or something i can stick in the gravel near the roots?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
