I've currently got BGA, Green Dust Algae and possibly Black spot Algae in my
planted tank. They're all pretty much under control (as long as I don't get lazy), but the Green Dust Algae is the biggest PITA. Questions: 1) Do Otos like GDA? I'm about to introduce some new Otos and I'm hoping they will help, 2) The BGA seems restricted to the Hornwort. Does BGA only thrive at the surface? The Hornwort has not been growing well at all since the BGA arrived, is this a coincidence? 3) I'm not sure if I have Black Spot Algae or not. This originally showed up on the Sword, but I thought it was some kind of rot from being lazy about cleaning off the Algae. But now it only exists on the oldest leaves and the new leaves are much more plentiful and clear of blemishes. I suspect it's my increased diligence, but I can't rule out some kind of submerged leaf syndrome or fungus. I've also got something similar on the Ludwigia, again seems to occur on the most Algae ridden leaves. The GDA seems most plentiful on the Ludwigia, but then again the leaves are red, so it's likely just more obvious. |
