Hi,

We need you to provide some information on your tank first

Offhand, it could be a problem of water temperature.

we would need more info..... but prelim assessment could be water too warm....

might not be the temp., since java moss can thrive in warmer water than other moss. give us more information on your tank

Here is my tank spec:

1) 2ft tank
2) 76 watts PL light - 8hrs/day
3) Ac fans - 8hrs/day
4) Plants- Java moss, Didiplis diandra, Echinodorus tenellus & Raccia
5) Livestocks- 8nos neon, plentyful of taiwan shrimp, 6 yamato & 1 SAE.
6) Ph 6.5 to 7
7) Temp 28
CO2 - 1 bubble/sec (24hrs)
9) Change 20% of water per week
10) liquid fertilizer per week
11) Using external filter

Hope the above infor will help.
Thanks.

how long is the moss been in the tank since? if its just a couple of days, then you need to be slightly more patient. note that sometimes, when we purchase plants, they are in their emersed form. (don't know whether moss has 2 forms or not )

Hi simon.
The moss has been re-planted for about 2mths plus( i savage those healthy ones). Previously i encounted the same problem and i let it be.But the moss got worse, hence i torn down my mosses and replant again.

hmmmm.. interesting.. will let the rest with moss experience comment on the prob.

i have both erect and java mosses.
as for my java, i find that they only adapt to low temp(dunno is that true)
i experience java turn brown oso when my temp is around 28 degree.
for my tank temp, i maintained at 26 degree. now they are quite healthy

Stop dosing for 1 or 2 weeks, see what happen.

could it be "sun-burnt"
try to put it under shade.
mine is growing green at 29-30degC and with much lesser light.
