Is this natural? This would be the new roots growing in? So i could trim this off and plant it or i should say attach it to the wood? These just started developing on tips of leaves.

Let them grow a little, when they come off the mama plant easily you have a new fern!

Let the plantlets grow to about 1/3 the size of the mother plant then trim them off and do what you want with them.

Java Fern thats growing well will spread via a creeping rhizome plus produce lots of plantlets on the tips of its leafs. If I wasnt soon going to stock 2 new tanks several times the size of what I have now I would have tons of extra plants.

Yes those are plantlets but the red stuff on the roots would be BBA which is a type of algae and it's gotten pretty bad by the looks of it.

That link only works for members. I don't think it's BBA, it just looks like the roots and those fine hairs that protrude off of them have caught a lot of the debris in the water. Mine also look like that. It's probably the camera that makes it look so exaggerated.
