i went away for 2 days so thay didnt get the lights on... but then i came last ngiht and i have the lights on today...

no i put them in from of my filter which kinda flows into the tank.. so the amazon swords flow witht the stream..

they look a little curled ... now i was wondering whetehr thats from not having enough light for the last 2 days or is it from the constant current?
(no fish yet) other plants in tank look fine
Let me know if u know whats goin on

Thanks

What are your water peramiters, substrate and its depth. They could also be in shock of transplanting or treatment. When I buy plants I always let them float free for at least one week to help the plants to restablish themselves.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Hi,
You have very poor timing. Whenever you purchase new
plants, or actually move plants, it takes them time to
establish new roots and become accustomed to the new
substrate and its nutrient mix. During that time, they
consume stored nutirents. The result is that many will
wilt, yellow, and the older more mature leaves may die off.
At the same time new roots start, and new leaves begin to
grow.

Not only did you move them, you left them in the dark for
two days. Leave the lights on for 10 hours/day and let
them be. Remove any dead/dying leaves, and don't move the
plants for another month or two while they readjust.
While I don't have mine under a canister output, they are
under a HOB output and they are thriving. I also have
plants under the output of my power head. They are
thriving.
