starsman20 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Green hair algae that grew into the filter outflow. Its twisted up like a rope. Easy removal. Wish it would always do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The algae I see isn't what I'd call hair algae, but it is what I'd call food for my baby Oto's. The algae I'd call hair algae grows about 2 inches high and can be killed by either spraying or pouring Hydrogen Peroxide on it if the object the hair algae is growing on can be removed from your tank for a short time.

Streetwise Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 @starsman20, is it rooted to anything? Do you have shrimp to graze on it? I don’t mind hair algae when it doesn’t combine with moss or floating plants to form Velcro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsman20 Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 No its just on the valisneria. I figure if its growing like that its consuming nitrates. I could remove it easily. No shrimp in the tank there is an sae. It's mainly the female guppu tank although there are 6 bronze corys as well. I have hundreds (thousands?) Of cherry shrimp. I could put some in but i would think the guppies would see them as tasty snack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 That looks pretty neat. I have a clump of it that's growing on top one of my sponge filters that I just leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
