I think you might have overdosed them with the Tetra Flora Pride. How did you 
add the Flora Pride? The correct way is to mix with new water during water 
change and not drop them directly into the tank. Even a few direct drops will 
cause a couple of yellow leaves, not to mention at the required dosage! Hope 
this shed some light.
