    Don't seem to be doing too well. If they are turning brown, that's pretty much the end of the road. How did you attach the moss to the wood?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Cheers,
    I used super glue gel type. Saw many people using it on YouTube. Is that what causes the moss to die?

    Possibly so. Perhaps you applied too much glue. Also, you didn't give your tank parameters. There is another possible reason that your water column is too "hot" for the moss to live. Temperature is too high. From just a photo and the scant information. It's really quite hard to make a good guess.

    Sorry new to this, my tank temperature is 28, could be too high but read many forum saying that could withstand up to 30c. PH at 5.4 when co2 is on and I also think it could be the glue.

    You temperature seems to be too high, especially when you pH is so low. Perhaps add a USB fan for the interim period with your next batch. This batch should be gone already. Also, do a partial water change and bring up the pH a bit. Probably around 6 or 6.5.

    Thanks! I will do that for the next batch!
