New 30 gallon planted tank build.

So my swords still aren't looking too good and it's getting close to two months now. They look pretty much exactly like they did in the last picture I posted. Anybody have any input?

Anybody have any other suggestions? The only things I find with a search are root tabs which I already have in there.

Different root tabs maybe? I've read both great and bad reviews for api root tabs. I haven't read a bad review for rootmedic root tabs though, and they did wonders for my amazon sword that was in sand. How's your lighting again and are you using liquid or any type of co2? As for stocking, I definitely agree with Roy saying the angelfish will snack on your ghost shrimp as they are well known shrimp and small fish eaters. I personally wouldn't have angelfish in a 29 gallon, it just seems far too short and small for them. I originally had a single ~3" angel in a 29, but realized it was too cramped for her, esp when she'd reach an adult size of ~6" and moved her to my more suitable 55 gallon. Just something to think about. :) congrats on the baby btw!

I do not have any c02 going in the tank right now. My lighting I'm unsure of. I do know it's a coralife colormax bulb though

Also I have Seachem flourish tabs sorry for the confusion.

I'd try a different light bulb, myself. That Colormax bulb just isn't doing much for the plants.
