Black black particles on nana's leaves

i'll second KF. normally. do not place slow growing plants under direct light. attracts algae

i got it! learnt it the hard way! think most likely the nanas/java ferns will not make it back to the original tank

Nanas grow best under a shaded area. Full blasting them with lights, you'll get a nana with algae.

'Nanagae', is a pain especially if it's nana petite that costs $$$.

updates : most of the algae had cleared after i moved the plants to another tank with less light intensity.

think the plants will just stay at that tank since it is growing well there.
will post a pic tmr. too shack today

Another way to get rid of the algae which I did is to remove the plant from your tank and soak the infected plant in mixture of bleach and water (10% bleach & 90% water). Soak it for about 10 to 15 minutes. and Rinse it well before you put it back into your tank. This method can only be used on sturdy plants.
