I almost was going to toss out all what you see a few weeks ago. I noticed small leaves developing from the melting java fern leaves. Starting to comeback so feeding more liquid plant fertilizer.
Don't be quick to toss out melting damaged Java Fern

I had one nearly dead too when it got all stringy and sprouted tiny leaves, after a few days, a bunch of tiny ferns drifted off of the dying one, a few found better places to root and are still alive today. I think Duanes said it's something they do as a last ditch effort to find better places to live.
Found the old thread, Deadeye was also very helpful on this...
So I've noticed dark spots on my Java fern over the past week but had a busy week and didn't pay much attention. Today it looks like a hairy pirate. Never dealt with black beard algae before but I'm guessing this is it? Never had plants before either, did i bring it in on one? I don't see it on anything else in the tank, how do i get rid of it, just remove the plant? Has it already spread unseen?
