The plants have plenty of small holes on their leafs,can it be some of my fish eating my plants? I have Discus,1 L-001 and 14 black phantoms. Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I'd try adding potassium first. If you have access to Seachem products, you can get Seachem Potassium or Equilibrium. Dry chemicals like K2SO4 or KCl would be the cheaper alternative; they're usually available through hydroponic suppliers. HTH! -P
