A good bit (at least half ) Of my betta bulbs are sprouting. The Java ferns are not doing so good in the betta tanks. The java moss is doing well though. Yay:19: I am a bit sad that the java fern is not doing well though. It looked so nice. The leaves are browning now. I'm not sure if I should just chunk them or take them out and put them in one of my regular cycled tanks. Just thought I would give an update since a few have asked about them lately.thumbs2:

The java moss is hard to kill, I had some in a tank without a light and it still did ok. Are the java ferns not getting enough light? Or maybe a fertilizer tab or two might help?

I have been leaving the lights on extra long and to no avail. I thought the java fern was a tough one to kill as well. I guess I could try some fert.
