i havent a clue which algaes diatoms or what have you look like im afraidHow long has your tank been set up? Maybe not long? Are you familiar with what different algae outbreaks look like? Thinking out loud, it kind of sounds like maybe some of the pellia has diatoms, hair algae or some other kind of algae on it.
Are you putting anything else in the tank besides water, substrate and light? Anything at all, including any kind of dechlorinator, Excel, or even fish food. And are the dull spots shaded any at all relative to the green parts?
You didn't actually plant it in the substrate, did you? If so, that's probably your problem. Mosses and pellia are just supposed to "sit there" or be tied to something, not planted under the substrate at all.it could be how ive planted it though but i dont know ill try and post up some pictures
yeah sorry, its the camera on my phones since i dont have a camera ill get a better picture tommorowYour picture is pretty blurry ~ I can't tell much of anything from it. Can you get a better one? Maybe pull the camera back a bit.
it doesnt look anything like brown algae, at least not to my eyesSome algae can make plants look a bit brown, either in places or all over. Here's a link to good pictures of different algaes: Algae ID page. Look at the Brown Algae. Does that kind of look like your brown spots of pellia?
ermmmm yeah thursday last week, i got my plants in the mail, from green line. they where all moist when they arrived and i kept them submerged while planting everything, i hadnt checked the tank properly and now i have its only my e tennelus thats growing realy well even my hm which was my mini success has turned yellow and brown in alot of places and looks totaly dead at the base.:help:Your plants have only been in there since Thursday? I'd give them a bit more time to recover from being moved. Where did you get them from? If in the mail, were they kept moist the entire time? If from a store, did you bring them home in a bag with water in it? If these dried out at all, that surely could make parts of them die. But don't worry if that's it ~ the rest of the plants will recover and they'll grow back in.
