Thank you for the response, yes all your responses are helping me! I agree, manually removing the algae often is the only way to eradicate it and seems feasible. I did dose liquid CO2 like 3-4 times a week (or even more) before this algae infestation. I hate this because it doesn't allow...

Hi , thank you for the response. Yes it seems like I overfed plants especially n also fishes may be but I'm not sure. I'll remove manually but I'm afraid I'll lose some java moss along with it. I shall do 50% water changes every 20 days or so.

Hi, There was an algae development a few weeks ago. Tank is 25 gallons, freshwater, heater removed since a week, 18w LED white+blue lighting for 5-7 hours a day. A bunch of live plants and java moss. Tank has tropical fishes such as guppies, green tetra , electric blue ramiz(I'm not sure about...

@Delapool, sure thank you! Will buy an ammonia and pH test kit. I guess major water change should reduce the Ammonia and pH level for now. MB Should I use 2-3 drops in a seperate bucket/tank And leave the fishes for 10-15 mins and remove n put it back to the tank? (As per some YouTube video)

For now I have used Bacto clear 2 drops, after doing a 75-80% water change. The plant pics are attached below. How do I figure out whether it's gill flukes or mites? I did the above, until I get the mythlene blue

@goatnad Yes it's alternenatha reneckie , the white strings are areial roots as I have not put black soil as substrate, it tries to get nutrients Ariel way. It's growing taller buy btw leaves aren't growing. I've bought macro n micro nutrients but due to the current issue I've not yet used...

I haven't checked the ammonia reading. Oh I see. What. Would be the safe dosage of liquid carbon? I can even stop liquid carbon for few days until the fishes are treated. I read about Mr.blue or methlyne blue, I am planning to treat all the fishes with it. I should buy a heater and an ammonia...

Guppies gills have turned red! And one of the guppies has a red patch near the under belly. Tank is of 35Lts 1 mechanical filter used Daily 6-8hrs of aeration and filtering and lighting. 3 guupy fries, 3 baby guppies and around 12-15 adult guppies are there. I also have aquatic plants. I did an...

Sure, will start doing it. Any suggestion on which liquid fertilizer? And would any of the products I'm using actually affect snails or fishes?

Oh yes I read about copper but I am not sure if any of the things I have used had copper in it. I have not used salt in any form as per my knowledge. Would frequent water changes might help for a while?

Hi I have a semi planted aquarium with guppies and mystery snails, recently I added 2 live plants out of which one is growing n one is decaying. I provide good lighting for 6-8hrs and a filter is run half a day not continuosly. The fishes are healthy but all snails (2 big ones and 3 small...
