Hello,
I'm new with this hobby, and yes...I have the "fish disease" as my husband calls it. I have a 36 gal Bow front with African Cichlids. Setup a 10 gal for quarantine tank...it is already a nursery (Red Zebras)! Working on a place for a 125 gal tank to move the larger Cichlids to.
I do have some kind of algae? problem in the 36 gal tank. It is a reddish-brownish colored powdery film which is on practically everything. It started as a couple little spots and is rapidly spreading. It is on the glass, rocks, plant (which are fakies), heater, filter tubing, etc. It wipes off quite easily with the algae scrapper. Any ideas of what this may be and how to get rid of it? This tank has been setup for approximately 4-5 months.
TIA
Patti
