Imperfect_aquatics Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I moved my 12ish gallon mini ricefish pond in from the outside deck to the inside the house about a week ago. I just noticed mold started growing on the base of the plants and substrate. Know idea why that is or what’s going on. Water clarity still seems fine. Realized I’m out of test strips otherwise I’d give water parameters as well 🙄 Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Do you think you’ve been over feeding at all?? That would be my first reaction…water lettuce leaves rot if condensation is continually dripped on them. @nabokovfan87 has been doing some algae experiments, maybe he’s come across this??

nabokovfan87 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 @TheSwissAquarist not this specifically.... well. I have, but those plants didn't make it. I was watching some videos on houseplants and one common thing they do is use hydrogen peroxide to treat mold. The most common reason for it is that the plant or dirt/substrate is too wet. (need better drainage) Specifically (for aquarium and plants) food grade hydrogen peroxide is less stable, but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
