hmmm java fern is one of the most hardly moss around and needs little extra care. maybe you could share with us more information esp your light settings.

Yar, heard that java fern is one of the more hardy plant to keep. There must be some problem with your tank.

Hi lyc, beside java fern, what other plant you have? What about their condition?

generally got fish in the tank,using matured filter n reasonable lighting shouldn't have probs... unless zero nutrients n too strong light...only possiblilty that such a plant could waste away....

High chance of parasite attack or plant desease if water condition is very poor. (e.g high ammonia, no bacts. to nutrify it)

Do you have a fan for the tank? You need to bring down the temperature.

Bro, you mean parasite will attack the plants too?? Thought they only cause problem to the fishes.
