Colu Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Its looks like brown algae diatoms usually get this type of algae when you Frist setup your tank it will just clean off or you can add Ramshorn snails or nerite snails they will do a good at removing it Edited June 24, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyjuliano Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Diatoms, they are not really algae. All snails; especially nerites, devour it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 My guppy fry grew twice as fast as normal in a tank I set up just for them. I put them in after the brown diatoms really started to thrive and they loved it. Have not been able to grow them that fast since. I have no clue if that’s the norm I’m not an expert.
