I have no idea whats wrong but the older leaves start turning yellow tip inward and die. The anubias leaves are getting soft, and some turn yellow. My dad is the one who keeps the plants, but he really doesn't do anything or care(he just says he'll replace it)about it and I have no experience with plants. Does anyone know whats wrong with the plants? oh and one of the pictures is how they looked originally.

Is the lighting that you have high enough for the plants?

from what i can tell, it looks like a nutrient deficiency, particularly potassium. i know some guys don't like using ferts or dont find it necessary, but i've found my plants always do best with a little plant food, regardless of stocking.

The middle plant is a sword. Try a root tab

Strong light, root tabs for heavy root feeders, liquid or dry ferts for the stem and floating plants, frequent water changes...these are a few of plants' favorite things.
