 | Large Anubias yellow leaves |
keithgh      *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003    | I have noticed a large gap in my tank and on closer inspection I found that one 8ins long Anubias had gone under the drift wood and received very little light. My question is will these leaves revert back to a healthy green now they are exposed to the lighting, or do I remove the yellowing leaves.

Sometimes, young leaves will turn green again. On the other hand, these leaves will be drawing nutrients out of the water, that the plant could be using to create more new leaves. HTH.... There is always a bigger fish... |

It now looks a lot better and the gaps filled in. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
