Tanker beat me to it, root tabs for your sword plants they are heavy root feeders.

I have a pleco and that is exactly what it does to my sword leaves! He's lucky I really like him!

My pleco ate like $15 in Dwarf Sag grass a couple weeks ago. Grr.

This is all very helpful advice. I use root tabs, I am due to put more in so I will do that tonight. Also, I have 2 clown plecos. I've had them so long that I didn't even think they would do it. To think I trusted them!!!! I have pruned off the dead and dying leaves and I will report back on this later. Thanks folks

nitrates are very low, I have just put fish in recently

Holes usually is a lack of potassium (K). Also "RED" plants need a little Iron (FE).

Exactly what I was going to say; it's a nutrient deficiency for sure. Especially red plants are quite demanding to stay that nice red coloration, iron will help boost its color. I've had similar issues in the past before with "holy" plants haha. My hygros are full of holes, even on super healthy green plants. After a few doses of potassium it cured it after a few days.
