Hey i got some plants from some dude, java fern and anubis? also some chineese balling plant. ive had them for 3 days now. I have flourish plant nutrient and a DIY Co2system. I noticed some little brown spots on the java fern's leaves. I was wondering what the problem was :)

Thanks again for the plants by the way :) gives a new look to the tank. So you say these brown dots are "normal". im asking becasue i did not notice them when i received them.

Brown dots on java fern are normal, and it is part of how it reproduces sexually.  From what I recall, now I may be wrong (memory) the dots are probably in an organized line, not random. 

Alternatively brown dots may also be leaf decaying, but usually it isn't dots but more sections typically on edges.

Sounds like you're seeing the sexual dots of java fern.  Nothing to be concerned about.  Completely normal.
