I have 1 java fern in my tank - it is growing very nicely, however, I have been noticing a fuzzy growth on the tip of 1 leaf & the underside of another and there are small leaves growing from this fuzz - what might it be?

That's how java ferns reproduce. An old leave dies off as babies sprout from it.

Wow - thank you! Very nice of you to provide a photo- I was hoping it wasn't a fungus or something : )

you're welcome! Here's what the same plant looked like 3 months later:
