Some of my plants I bought at petsmart a week or so ago when the tank was new have started growing some algae. The Java fern has Fuzz algae, red fuzzy strings. The Water sprite has something I don't know what it is. Here are some pictures, is any of this something I should do something about.

I've got some java moss quarintined right now, I didn't do that for the oringinal plants. The tank is only as old as the plants give or take.

the red fuzzy strings look like roots, but the sprite looks like it has Blue Green Algae, a bacterial infection that I am also currently suffering. it spreads fast and nothing will eat it.

if plants have algea growing on them, the light could be a bit to strong or on for to long.
