Answer by notabamabigot
If leafs are yellow it's not enough Iron in the water.If edges of holes start brown then its chemical problem and you need to test all parameters of the water.If leaf looks healthy and gets holes your fish are eating the leafage.

Had the same thing happen to my plants. Part of the leaves die and at night the snails would eat that part, do you have snails? If so that’s the prob. Or your fish could be the culprits.
I use Flora boost (monthly), i also have Eco-Complete planted substrate, and a CO2 kit (but only bother using this if you have a fully planted aquarium as its expensive but worth it as it introduces CO2 into the water to help plants photosynthesis) Which all work quite well.
If you only have a few plants then your fish will most probs produce enough co2 for them to live on.
Hope i helped
