Algae(BBA, hair) on java Fern

[mkt]

Hi - When I bought the Java ferns they are really ""clean"" - bright leaves etc. After a month or two I have this algae issue growing on the edges of my Java ferns - BBA, hair algae. And somehow the leaves aren't so bright.

I read somewhere that this is frequently experienced . Does anyone know how to avoid algae growing on the Java Ferns? After a while i have plantlets growing on the leaves too....And I am sure the BBA on the ferns are not developing plantlets.

Any body care to share their experience how to prevent this algae on Java ferns and/or plantlets from developing on the leaves?

Check your water circulation and co2 level, and maintain your wc regularly. usually thats the main culprit for bba.
