Just wanted to share this and am wondering if anyone else has experienced it…

I had a small build-up of green spot algae on my tank walls that wouldn't come off with my regular scrubber pad so I took a new single-edge razor blade to it. As I worked from top to bottom, green "worms" of algae floated off. My little girl honey gouramis discovered them and began gobbling them up like candy. Then my male platy got into the act. It got so I could hardly work as they were right there trying to be the first to grab them. It reminded me of birds following a tractor as it tills the land.
