Patrick_G Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I’m not an expert on algae, but it looks like staghorn to me. My wife and I have very different approaches to algae control. I try everything I’ve learned. Lower light, cleanup crew, proper fertilizer levels, manual removal and Seachem Excel. It’s been working but there’s a different approach. My wife cleans the glass by hand, has two Otocinclus and has a lower power light, that’s it. If some algae appears she waits it out and eventually the plants outcompete it. I like her method but I’m too impatient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAshhole Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Soooo, one of my gouramis took a turn and is now back in the hospital tank. I can't figure out what's wrong. So I'm treating with the trio less the Ich X. Hope it pulls through, but its not looking good. 😞 As far as the Staghorn went, the Otos cleaned it up! I'm glad I didnt start going crazy with treatments, though I will admit it was super hard to let it play out. If I'm being completely honest, I'm pretty discouraged thus far...

CosmicAshhole Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 I was watching my tank 20L today, seems like my remaining gourami is a biiiiiiiig bully and now is harassing my tetras, who get harassed enough by each other. So this is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
