Hi everybody, I've had a black or very dark green fungus, algae or mold on my drift wood for a while, I've heard that it was a bacteria build up and that I'd go away, so far it's been on my wood for a couple weeks and it hasn't gone away, about a couple days ago it started spreading to my plants so I thought it was algae but then just yesterday I noticed it on the back of my mollies tail! :eek:image.jpgBlack stuff on the edges of his fin! I'm not sure it's the same thing but it's gotten me worried. What is it? Is it harmful? How much? What should I do?:confused:Any help is greatly appreciated.View attachment 230616
 
Sorry, I forgot to post that my params are good exept my nitrate is a tad high, I found out that my plants have what's called fuzz algae, but is that's what's on my driftwood too? It looks a little different. And what about my mollie? What's on him and how do I get rid of it?
