Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have an algae and im not sure what kind it is, im hoping to find something that will eat it. Its green heres some pics: Will hermits eat this stuff?
You can be sure....gooyferret said:I think its a green hair algae possibly but not sure
What kind of brush? Hair algae is quite flimsy and should come off easily. If it does not, then it might actually be turf algae. Judging by the pic though, it does look like hair....gooyferret said:i tried scrubbing it off with a brush dont work though?
A toothbrush. The bristles are fine enough that the algae gets trapped in them and can be removed instead of spreading the algae further... You will need to rinse the brush several times during the process. Remember, the nutrient is not removed unless the algae is as well. If you simpley scrub the rock without removing the algae, the nutrient remains.gooyferret said:What kind of brush do you recommend?
