Brownish algae in planted aquarium.

[FishCrazyBenBOMB]

Well both my ottos have died from the temp changes i've been doing to cure my ram's ich. I think because of them not being there i've had a break out of brownish algae. So I recently added a BN pleco in there. He obv. isn't doing to great of a job because of the brown algae everywhere.

It's all over the rocks, drift wood, and on he glass of the aquariums. The only place it isn't is on the plants (ya!).


I whiped it off but it keeps coming back. I think my pleco is just lazy.




Any got any tips on what I should do?

Hi Ben, you got to get a couple more otto's in there. Sounds like diatom algea to me. It's the otto's favorite food, they will clean it up in no time.

Ok, as soon as I get some money i'll get a couple more.
