Thanks! I’ll send off an email to them. Since this is a craft item it might not surprise them at all that I want to do something weird with it. Crafty people are known for going off on creative tangents. Last summer, when hubby […]
Sounds like a deal to $15.95, My LFS sells them at $17.99 on sale! The post that I was reading on the Black Beard Algae said that once it gets out of control, it would be extremely hard to get rid of. The poster said he did the same things you described as doing but […]
I thought I replied to this.
They could just be red variants of Planaria. Planaria are common in tanks that might be needing some extra gravel cleaning. Do you see them in the water column or just crawling on things and on the glass? Can you take a picture of them?
Be careful with […]
Well that sounds out of the picture, I can barely get the LFS to agree to anything, LOL. Couldn’t believe how much they were selling the german blue rams for, I saw the price and was VERY thankful I ordered them instead. They were 15.95 each! Same size as the ones I got […]
Please note, the American Flagfish, or - “Florida Flagfish” (Jordanella floridae), found in Florida and southern Georgia, is not the same fish as the Jamaican Killifish (Cubanichthys pengelleyi, found in the West Indies, as could be interpreted to read here. I’ve never known the Cuban Killifish to eat Black Beard Algae, but the American […]
My pH is 7.8 and I have lots of black beard algae. I think its the SAE that eats black beard algae, and you will probably have to order them. They like to be in groups and in a large tank, a 55G should be OK.
Im using my vallisneria to out-compete […]
They don’t have the CAE’s here in town, I would have to order them. Do Otto’s eat this algae? I doubt it. I figured raising the KH, GH and pH would help get rid of it, as it prefers low pH water (6 or less apparently). Oh and the lights are on for 8 […]
I did a little surfing on the subject and found that the Chinese Algae eater (Siamensis) is the only known fish that will eat this type of algae. Hey Amber, may be time for another visit to the LFS since you have a legitimate reason to buy more fish LOL How long are […]
Man, I see what my problem with them was. The first article you list from cichlid-forum.com lists them as “A Beginner’s Dwarf”. I never had much luck with all those so-called beginner fish. Drove me nuts, too. “Here, Steve, take these [Aphyosemion] gardneri home with you. You should have a bunch of fry for us […]
In my freshwater aquarium, I have been having a problem with very high c03 levels(Between 80 and 100 PPM), however my co2 levels stay low - nearly unreadable. I currently have some live plants - a species of dwarf lily that I am not sure of its proper genus(And how it can be called a […]
