hi bros.. recently my java moss has some part of it turning brown.. it was tied onto a coconut husk and growing very well in my 1.5ft tank last time..

but now the center part of it has become brown in my 2ft.. been inside for 1mth alrdy.. ytd i also found out tt my flame moss is beginning to turn brown too.. any idea why is this so?

i have a bogwood tree full of us fissidens and spiky moss, floating watersprite, frogbits, 1 mesh of us fissidens, 2 mesh of flame moss, 1 driftwood of spiky moss, 1 moss ball and 1/3 coconut husk of java moss.. issit too much plants?

also.. my spiky moss seems to stop growing after some new "shoots" grew out from the main plant.. why is this so??

thanks in advance for helping..

What is your tank setup? Your fertz dosage, C02 info. Need these info. for the gurus here to help.

What about your water temperature? Java moss is one of easiest to grow but it needs tank water of 28 degree celcius or lower.

Get an aquarium fan to lower your tank temperature abit. This happens to my java moss before - Now my tank temperature is between 25-28 degree celcius and the moss is growing well and flourishing. The other reason could be due to the acclimatisation of the moss. However, the lowering of temperature plays a major part here.
