Hey Everyone,
Quick Tank Overview
92cm long, 36cm wide, 43cm tall (120litres/30Gallon)
Numerous Live Plants
2 Bolivian Rams
9 Rummynose Tetra
5 Cardinal Tetra
8 Neon Tetra
4 Peppered Corydoras
2 Honey Gourami
and added today 2 Algae Eaters ( Looks like Gold Sucking Catfish - Gyrinocheilus aymonieri) to try help clear the Algae.
This is my current water testings:
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0mg/l
Nitrate - 0mg/l
PH - 6.8
Temp on Heater 25/26 degrees celcius
Temp on Thermometer 22/23 degrees celcius
I have the light on for around 12 hours a day
And I feed the fish once a day, with 2 or 3 small pinches of flake food, and 2 or 3 small pinches of pellet food that sinks
The Algae is hairy, green and sticking to the plants, log, and glass and up to 4cm long
The water is clear and fish still look happy.
My tank is about 3 months old now, I did the fishless cycle, and highly reccomend that, but now I am starting to get green Algae in the Tank. I am not sure why this is happening If anyone can help with suggestions to fix this that would be great.
Thanks
