I have something growing on my plants. It started on the swords and is now
on several other plants. It looks like the plant is putting out white hair
roots from the middle or sometimes the edge of the leaf. I have tried to
look at it with a magnifier and it looks like a fungus. What is it and how
do you get rid of it.

Maybe it is fungus. Can you easily vacuum it out during water changes? If so,
it's fungus. Common in new tanks, or if you're overfeeding. If your tank is
new, the fungus will probably go away on its own. If your tank has been
established for a long time, reduce the amount you're feeding.

If it's difficult to remove, it might be staghorn algae. Post your tank
parameters and someone will probably be able to offer some advice.
