When java moss has brown threads, it is not dead, it is just older growth that has been covered by new growth and has not received much light so does not contain chlorophyll, which gives it its green colouration. Once any brown threads are exposed to light, it will then begin to grow new strands and produce chlorophyll returning to its green colour after a few weeks.
Java moss can be easily propagated via division. It is suitable for both aquariums and vivariums.

4 Benefits of having Java Moss in your tank:
Reduces the amount of algae:
When you use Java moss in your aquarium, it competes with the algae for the nutrients available. With time, the moss will starve the algae since it has a faster growth rate than algae. It’s important to note that not all aquatic plants can eliminate algae in an aquarium, but it will definitely slow their growth down.
Aerates the water:
Like some other aquatic plants, Java moss helps in the oxygenation process. Photosynthesis also takes place in plants that survive in water, such as Java moss. The plants’ food-making process uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the water, which ensures the survival of the fish.
Reconstructs the natural environment:
By adding Java moss to your aquarium, the fish will live in an environment similar to their natural habitat, which may have a positive impact on their growth. Java moss can be used in aquariums containing a wide variety of fish.
Secures substrates in the aquarium:
Since the water in the structure is changed from time to time, the substrates may be disturbed. However, adding Java moss holds the substrates in place even when the fish are moving around.
