Just noticed these brown spots on a java fern leaf. This plant in my parachromis freidrichstalli tank. He is the only one in the tank.
Is this harmful? Do I dispose of it ASAP?

Those are the fern sorus - reproductive structures to produce spores. No harm

Ok thank you. I got worried

Yeah, little roots and plantlets will grow off of them. Not a fan of how that looks so I don’t keep those anymore
