 | Black spot on swords |
fishnewbie  Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004   | I have noticed some black splotches on one of my swords(dont know what species) in my 10 gallon. I added flourish excell and after that the spots appeared. Why did this happen and can I do anything to fix it? |

If it is algae it may because you added fertilizer when it wasn't need by the plants and so the algae used it. If not try using a root tab fert for your sword rather then a liquid, which the sword won't really use as they are heavy root feeders. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |
