Yep, Iron deficiency can cause darkening. Seachem Iron is a good option if you're not already using it.

Re: why are my roots turning black?


Could be a nutrient deficiency or maybe too much light. I had a similar issue with my Java Fern when I cranked up the light too high. What's your lighting setup like?


I agree with lorixa. Also, how often are you doing water changes? Stratum can leach nutrients over time, so regular changes ...
