New plant weird things

[POLARBEAR0871]

My grandma just bought me a live plant for my freshwater puffer fish. Thing is there's other little things that look like plants growing off the leaves any help would be appreciated

Also just noticed brown bumps all over the leaves

Will need to see a picture to be of any help.

Sounds like a java fern. The little brown bumps on the under side are normal for that species. They're actually spores like you see on terrestrial ferns, if memory serves me. The little babies growing off of the main leaves are in fact little baby plants, and they will eventually fall off and become new plants.

Here it is

I stand by my answer. You've got a java fern on your hands.

Cool are they fast growing or do they need time to grow

They are not fast growers unless under high light, fertilizers, and CO2 but Java fern is very Hardy and it will grow.

Ok kewl thanx

How long do you think it takes for them to grow

 

[aqua_chem]

The baby ferns? It depends on the tank, light, ferts, etc, and isn't necessarily easy to predict even given all of that information. As a rule though, java ferns tend to be slower growers compared to plants in general. They'll pretty much do their thing in their own sweet time.
