i use firtilizers, carbon, and iron. my light is low though. should i just take it out and plant it like a plant, in a pot? i have two kinds of anubias and the other one is doing good. i'm not sure about exact name of my anybias, but the one that's sick has triangular leaves. i'm not very good with plants, but i read that the light doesn't metter with anubias.
 
I know which one you mean, and I think it's called gracilis. anyway, how is it planted? I know you don't want to bury the rhizome with anubias or they'll die, so people tend to tie them to rocks a driftwood. anubias also tend to be low light plants, so that shoudln't be the problem.

gracilis is also a more difficult species to grow, and if I had my book on me I could give you more info, but I'm stuck here at work ;)
 
Gracilis is also a lot yellower than most annubias. However the two primary causes for yellow that I've seen in annubias are low iron, and low nitrogen. If they turn white it's usually an issue of too much light. However you need to be way out of normal threshholds for that to occur.

when i bought them they were green with few rusty lines. later rusty lines went away, but now two leaves are turning yellow, even though there is a new leaf coming out.
 
it's called "flourish iron" :)

i have a bottle, but i rarely have to use it. yellow thin leaves is usually either iron deficiency (possible if you didn't preload the substrate or go with a branded substrate) or it's potassium.
