I've had my 26 gal tank up and running for over a month now. Lately I've noticed some dark brown/rust colored brown spots on a couple of my plants - they are starting to multiply and spread. The reason I didn't put this on the PLANTED TANK forum is because... well... all my plants are FAKE. So I don't know what this is.
Its not on my fish, not on my tank glass, not on substrate. I do have a few spots on my fake rocks/logs. But the worst outbreak is on this one "fabric/silk" plant I have. The plants with the shiny plastic/vinyl looking leaves don't have it.
I pulled the plant out of the water and was able to rub the spots off with my finger. But I do want to grow REAL plants someday - so if I've got a weird fungus/algae, I want to nip it in the bud. Or maybe this is some kind of harmless normal thing I shouldn't be stressing about? Like I said, doesn't seem to be bugging the inhabitants. Its just kind of ugly to look at.
Thanks!!!
