Glad to hear this. I thought it was just my imagination. I have some kind of algae that I wanted to keep on my mopani wood because the otos graze on it. But if that has to go to get rid of the other nuisance algaes, then so be it.
I started adding just a regular dose of excel to my non-co2 20 long. Plants are growing better with it (especially my tiger val which dies off without it).
However, I noticed that my beautiful green, velvet algae that the otos like, is dying off and going black/grey. I need to start scrubbing off those dead spots as it is quite unsightly.
Has anyone had problems with their fish and Excel? I know that Flourish recommends a higher dose the first time, then a single dose therafter.
I would like to up it, but would like to know if anyone has had trouble with their fish. |
