Hmm... could this be it?

Hi everyone.
In an earlier I asked you guys to help me id some some new plants. Well I've been checking into it and the grass in the corner is definetly not giant hair grass. It's got more or a tube shape from what I can see in the pictures and this stuff has a flat leaf. But onto other things. It's been looking pretty bad for a few weeks now and I've been trying to figure out what's wrong.

Does this look like a pottasium definency to you?
Thanks everyone!

P.S. Sorry for all the pic's I hope they help.

It looks like the Jungle Vals that I have in my tank. Mine are currently over 24 inches long!

The leaves on it aren't very wide and are almost rigid. To the touch it feels alot like terestrial grass. However it seems to be sprouting new shoots so I'm pretty sure that's it's got to be aquatic.

I don't have much experiance with Jungle val but it's leaves appear to be wider and more.... "limp" then this plants.

Is it Mondo grass by any chance? It's commonly sold as aquatic but is not aquatic.

I think what you have is sagattaria subulata. I just got some last week and planted in my 15 gallon and in my 75 gallon. It looks as though I may be having the same problem with it (long leaves turning yellow and get very thin...almost see through?). I have mine are planted in eco complete and have been using Seachem's plant pack to help them out. They seem seem to be doing a little better. Hope that helps. Let me know if you find something that keeps them looking even better!
