Hello Everyone first time poster here.
so 2 weeks back i had the bright idea to make a dirted tank for the purpose of experience, but with horrible impulse control i now have both a crinum and an aponogeton madagascar in it, the last week i started seeing black beard algae on the crinum, should i be worried? i am thinking of adding a cleaner fish but i feel as though the cycle might not be ready yet. i added some shrimplets that's doing well growing up in the tank. i was thinking of adding maybe a single florida flagfish or maybe a single SAE but if they eat all the shrimplets i will probably feel bad. thoughts?
Tank Spec:
40 Gallon
Temp 29 Degree celcius (84 degree Fahrenheit)
PH, 7.7 TDS 210
Nitrate & Nitirie (not checked yet, will do after i buy another testing tube, the last one broke after i dropped it)
