Hi,
New to forum, will no doubt have lots of questions for you all as we are beginners to fish keeping, here is our first:
We have a 48 gal tank with a fluval 304 pump with a capacity for 70gallons.
12 tetra's (6 neon's, 6 Black skirt)
2 pepper Cory's & 1 Panda Cory.
Our aim is to have a peaceful community tank
We have noticed within a week of doing a pwc's we have long strands of green algae at the top on the back side of the tank. We would like some advice on why this is happening so quickly and then also what type of fish/shrimp/snail is best available in regular pet store that would help to control/eat this algae? Is this normal after a week or are we worrying unduly?
Thanks in advance!
