looks like it could be diatoms. does it rub off of the leaves easily? the plants look like they are lacking nutrients. u may want to add co2 if your not already and/or some ferts. good luck!!!

Thank you for the reply. They can't be rub easy ( I think that I can't rub them at all).
I use OTTO's "Aqua-plant Iron Plus" without CO2.
