My wife brought a plant home and it was not in good shape. Some of the leaves looked like they were melting, and a good bit of it was covered in the grey kinda fuzz... Any idea what it was? I cleaned it all off manually, and removed the bad leaves/stems, and now it looks nice and healthy, but what was that stuff??

Sounds like some type of algae to me, maybe Brush Algae?

Sounds like brush algae to me also... Tends to be black/gray in color, can grow in tufts or appear as a black edge on leaves.

So, between the 4 corys, 3 otos, 1 pleco, and 1 CAE (thanks hon!), it should not be a problem?

Thanks,

The only algae eater that tends to eat BBA is a SAE, and they will only eat new growth.

If you were'nt already having a broblem with it, introducing a small amount should not cause an infestation.
