Spotty Plants

[Hunter2001]

I have some artificial plants in my 30 gallon aquarium and a couple of them are getting black/copper spots on them. All of my fish are doing fine. Is this a result of my water conditions?

I would appreciate any insight.

It's just algae. You can wash it off.

You could also pick yourself up a few otocinclus...they love that stuff. Odds are if you're getting it on your plants, you'll be getting it on your gravel...and I don't think you'll want to be washing that.

Even though you have some good answers so far, wouldn't this be better suited to the plants forum?

No because he is talking about plastic plants, not real ones.

And, yet, I did not read ARTIFICIAL plants. Thx, DevilsFan...but go Minn. Wild!
