Java Fern leaf - what could be going wrong ?

Post by Nikhilsk99 »

I have Java Fern planted in my 30 gallon tank.
See the photos, the leaf looks to have holes as if something is eating them.
I have 3 rose barb and some snails.

Is this normal and expected ? or something going wrong with my fertilization / CO2 / Light....etc..

Agreed, it looks more like something is munching on them (snails, plecos, etc), rather than a nutrient deficiency.
