It seems to be fuzzy and brownish green, more brown than green and it may just be the lighting that makes it look the slightest bit green. I do scrap it off with a brush once a week when I do what changes, or at least I try to scrap it off, I don't have a very strong arm. And yes, my nitrate and...

Then would the algae just go away by itself?

I run the light about 9-12 hours a day, but more like 10 hours on average, and the last I checked the parameters, which was 3 days ago, the Ammonia was 0, the PH was about 7, and the nitrates and nitrates were all where they are suppose to be. I need to get more test strips, but we've had quite...

Here are just a few of the places I found the 10 gallon suggestion on. But, like everything in life, it's all a matter of opinion. As for the algae, I have been doing weekly changes in water and it's only getting worse, not better. The Aquatic Den - Black Skirt Tetra Black Widow Tetra -...

These are just a few of the places that told me 10 gallons, but, as with everything in life, it is all a matter of opinion. Mine seem to be perfectly content (that is until I turn bright lights on!) As for the Algae, I've been doing water changes, but the problem seems to be growing, not getting...

I did my research before I bought any Black Skirts and the general consensus was that they needed 10 gallons or more, and they needed schooling space, so I bought a 13 gallon long, giving them 27 inches of horizontal schooling space. As for the pelco, I did not intend on getting one, but the...

I have a bit of an Algae Problem in my 13 gallon Tetra tank. I have 5 Black Skirts and 1 Gold Skirt in the tank, and I had a small Pleco in there with them, but he died on Christmas Morning about a week after I got him. :( I'm not sure why, I put the wafers in there for him, and he ate them, so...

Fibsog: Question: Tank Size For Guppies? - Polls - 159325 And thanks guys, I'll probably go with another Betta because I'm not a big fan of shrimp. For some reason, they remind me of spiders, and I'm deathly afraid of spiders!

You think so? I've been thinking about getting guppies, but have read that they need at least a 10 gallon...

I've thought about it, and if I do go with a Betta, I'll probably get a female, just because it might not get as big and outgrow the 5.5 like Liverpool has. But, Liverpool is also an aggressive swimmer, so the 5.5 just wasn't doing it for him, whereas another Betta might not be as active.

What fish can make a home in my tank? Need stocking advice. Hello everybody, I'm new here! Well, not completely new, I've looked at other forums here throughout the last 6 months and its helped me a lot! I recently relocated my Double Tale Betta-Liverpool-to a 10 gallon tank because: A. He's...
