Since I am normally away on the weekdays due to college, I have my mom look over my tank during the time I am away.
My mom fell in love with my fish and loved looking at them. So she left the lights on for very long period of time. She also enjoy watching them come up for food, so she overfed my cichlids and left a lot of nutrition in the tank.
When I came back this weekend, there was heavy algae on all my rocks and some green spot algae on my glass.
I now am not sure how I should go about removing the algae. I have two nerite snails in my 10g that I can transfer over. I also have mbuna which are vegetarians which may feed on the algae. I also have a BN pleco that may eat the algae off the ornaments.
Should I leave it to the fish, or should I take the ornaments out and scrub the algae off?
