I don't stick mine to the tank wall at all. I soak cubes in boiling water and squish all the air out, then I just pour them in the tank.

I would try water changes first. Have you ever tested your tapwater?

Have you added any medications lately? Snails and shrimp are sensitive to some of the meds that are helpful for fish or algae control.

I am with @Cory about the bloodworms. I have 2 species of corys that are deemed delicate( duplicarearus and eques). Feeding bloodworms when you first get them helps a lot. Next thing, what else do you have with them? Faster fish can out compete for food and if you haven't had corys in the tank before you will need to add a little extra to ensure the corys get their share.

Attach a pic of the tank please. A lot of times there aren't enough plants in the aquarium to use up all the fertilizer, then algae will persist. It is a tricky balance.

What camera are you using to get those great macro shots?

I feed this brine shrimp. I mix it a little up in water and just pour it into the tank.

@Cory I want to know why you're dropping the line of easy plant LED? Getting something better? Thanks -
What type of filtration are you running?

Tips on getting Monte Carlo to green up?
tike replied to Justnotrook's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
Probably more then just a few days. "Greening up" depends on a few factors, lighting, available nutrients, and water chemistry. Try googling monte carlo care and research from there. Hope that helps. -
Not sure on pygmies but 7 years ago I bought a wild colony of both duplicareus (12) and eques (12) from them. The last 7 years have lost 4 of the duplicareaus and 3 eques. I think that's a pretty good record. Since you will be there you can ask about their quarantine process and if there has been any issues with the pygmies.

Pleco won't help with BBA. Google excel for BBA control. This how i got rid of mine. It WILL take a lot of manual effort to clear the dead algae and you really want to increase the flow in your tank while doing the whole treatment. It isn't an easy task but it is doable! Good luck!

Use magic nano feed from aquarium co op. Bug bites don't work for me very well with any of my tropicals. Also crushed algae wafers. Using green beans I feel, can foul the water quicker
