    It looks like the ones i have in my tank.
    i leave mine alone. the dark patches will be overtaken by the green ones. the yellow ones may be receiving too much light (intensity).

    Remember to give your HG a trim. this will spur new growth and promote circulation within the HG.

    It could be due to excess iron prosphate in water. Perhaps can reduce the dosage?

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I thought the hair grass was dying or under algae attack as some are turning black and yellow. I was thinking maybe there was insufficient light and almost bought a Odyssea Evo24 LED lightset in Marketplace but it was sold to someone else.
    I will monitor and update, thanks.
