Algae

[ziller]

I have just started (about 6 months ago) a 10 Gallon fresh water tank with 2 mollies. Now have lots of little ones.

My problem is with Algae. What is the best way to remove it from the decorations? The tank is in front of a window, but we do not open the shades. Light is from the led's in the cover.

When the algae seems to build up, the fish will nibble at it.

Change water every 2 weeks. Temperature 81 degrees.

Have tried Algaefix from APPI

Thank you.

You could try one of these: Otocinclus (Otocinclus vittatus)

They must be acclimated slowly and I suggest an established tank. And for a 10 gallon, I would purchase just 1.
