15 Gallon Tank Anubias dying please help

My anubias barteri is yellowing on its leaves,(Roots look really good, growing more than leaves) I fertilize often and my java fern is kicking off, I have seven new plants (Java fern) ( most of the original plants are gone was that die off?) but my anubias is really sick, some of the leaves have holes in them and some are turning yellow I don't know what to do please help

 

• How long has it been in the tank?
• I assume the rhizome isn't in the substrate?

rhizome is glued to driftwood and I would say it´s probably been around since September, it started growing new leaves then all of a sudden its been doing this

 

• What is the lighting like (type and daily duration)?
• Do you fertilize, and if yes, with what type and how often?

About 10 hours a day (Thick duckweed and Salvinia which have no burns), I use flourish tabs and flourish liquid fert.

• Your light is on longer than what's usually recommended, but I don't think it's hurting your anubias. If you aren't having problems with algae I wouldn't mess with it.
• The Flourish fertilizers are mostly micro nutrients, with very little of the macro nutrients. You might try switching to a more complete fertilizer, like Thrive, or Easy Green from Aquarium Co-op (assuming you're in the US).

Also, sometimes old leaves just turn yellow and die. Is that the case here, or is this affecting all the leaves on the plant?

It is all the leaves turning yellow and would easy root tabs by Co Op work?

Probably not since it's anubias.

If anyone is reading this and has some ideas please chime in.

Thank you for your help! I appreciate it so much!

 

Give the rhyzome a squeeze. Is it really firm ? As long as it’s not squishy , I’d just cut the leaves off that are affected and remove some duckweed.
They may be blocking the light and taking up all the nutrients that the Anubias needs

Rhimzone is firm and it seems like the roots are firm and spreading as well, Ill remove some duckweed and give that a try!

 

Update: Fert. was wrong, I tried a low-light plant fert. and within a couple hours it already looked better
