rickyz Fingerling Posts: 26 Kudos: 19 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Oct-2005	Hi, I would like to know why my java moss is brown I really don't know because I have some outside and in some tubs they are very green but in others they are brown I taked some of the brown java moss in a 29g planted tank that just have an 20 watt light but there I have a lot of criptocorines java fern and anubias and they are doing very good, but I have the Java tied to a root and it hasn't attached and it's still brown and the plant have been there for around a month and I don't see any changes. PLEASE HELP ME.

I would remove it give it a good cleaning and place it outside with the others to see what happens. If it reverts back to a good healthy green it sounds like it does not like some thing in the tank. Have a look in [link=My Profile]http:// www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/profile.asp?userid=6741" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] for my tank info [link=Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tanks]http://photobucket.com/albums/b209/keithgh/Betta%20desktop%20tank/" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link] Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Or at least in a tub that is/was similarly exposed to the sun? I would say (and I might be wrong) that the plants are dead. Brown = dead. I almost assume that both of these plants died because of overheating. Can that be? Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

I'm at fault, left in the container too long.. Trying to recoup even a bit and have it under a flourescent desk lamp at the moment. The Amazon Nut...

Try to keep it 27oC or below. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
