some people eat it, if you dry it out, you can train goldfish and other fish to eat it. You have to train them while their young.

I use a plastic comb to scoop it up from the surface. Easier to rinse or brush off than a net.

Indeed, manual removal is the best regarding floaters IMO.

You really do have to remove all of it or it will come back to haunt you in a few days, as it divides very quickly.

Just focus on netting a bit every day, and it will soon be gone.
