eatyourpeas Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) As I continue to enjoy different algae, I have not been able to identify this beautiful soft algae mass. It is in three of my tanks, snails (including Nerite), Amanos, CAE and Neos won't eat it, and it is covering rocks and wood alike. I love the look of it, but can't seem to find a name to go with it. There is Staghorn to the left in this picture, but I am interested in the one on the right side: TIA Edited June 17, 2022 by eatyourpeas 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 That is green carpet algae. I love that stuff I grow it on my pleco caves. My understanding is it could be a few types. It eventually grows long if I do not trim it as you can see in the second photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Algae is a beautiful nitrate consumer and water purifier that is easy to grow… unless you want to grow it 😉 Wish I could have donated some of the BBA I cultivated for our trials to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
