Probably Clado. Try Amano shrimps if nobody would eat them.
Yeah I can't put them in my tank, I have rainbows/tetras that peck at my ramshorn snails, plus I'm very inexperienced with shrimp(never had any and im allergic to the shrimp people eat, can't even touch them so I'm not sure if I would be allergic to aquarium) or I'd probably kill them tbh due to lack of knowledge , anything else that will eat it? Rabbit snails? Nerites (I can find a way to seal the tank so they don't escape)Probably Clado. Try Amano shrimps if nobody would eat them.
Forgot to Mention I did a small pipette spot dose and it did nothing but cause my fish to start gasping which makes no sense as I did not use much at allYou could try hydrogen peroxide, squirted on the algae, making sure you aren't overdosing it in the whole tank water. When I had algae like that I was able to pull out most of it. It is certainly difficult to eliminate.
You spot treated with Excel or Hydrogen peroxide? I am using H202 regularly for spot treating and it works wonders. Fish/shrimp swim right through it with absolutely no discomfort. Only snails will hide in their shells if they are too close to the treated place, but they come out and continue grazing after a few minutes.Forgot to Mention I did a small pipette spot dose and it did nothing but cause my fish to start gasping which makes no sense as I did not use much at all
I haven't looked on YouTube but how would you remove it from the plant itself, I'm assuming the bristles catch the filaments on the algae and pull it out? It's not attached to the leaves more growing up and around themYou can manually remove them with a toothbrush.
The plants it's growing on are attached to pieces of driftwood I can remove from the tank, what is the mixture ratio of the treatment if i do it out of the tank , I'd really hate to melt the bucep.yes, clado is easy to remove since they don't attach securely. I've let them grow into a mat and removed by hand.
Squirting peroxide and excel have risks of melting your plants. I usually apply the chemicals out the tank for 20 seconds and wash off the chemicals. That's usually safe for the plants.
Yeah after moving pieces of driftwood this stuff is all over in my tankSpray or squirt straight 3% hydrogen peroxide you get at the store. Wait 20 seconds, wash it off/dunk it in water. The algae should die off in a few days.
I did lower my light back down 5% to see if that will help so I'm now running it at 55% instead of 60%They usually occur when you have too much light.
They're related to those 'moss' balls so they don't look too bad.
