3c30 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I only have a small 10 gallon tank. I have a great Anubia and it’s growing like mad , tonight I was looking really closely and noticed some stuff on the edges of the leaves that looks like nothing other than fur. Does anyone know what this is and how do I get rid of it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Burke Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Picture would help, but sounds like a variant of algae. Here are a couple pictures from my tanks the first one is a sword plant with some black beard algae (BBA) and some java fern that had recently been treated with reverse respiration. Basically submerging the plant in carbonated water, and leaving in the them in a dark room overnight. Look here for more information on how to do it: Or ask @Guppysnail she’s an expert. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what this is and how do I get rid of it ? First question, sounds like Algae of some sort. Second question? Yeah thats the 65,000 question…. How to get rid of it…. The most reliable way to get rid of it is to take all of the water out of the tank…. but fish dont do well with that… Lots of ideas and advice all over the internet on controlling algae… The most effective advice I have found is that found on the 2 hr aquarist web site… https://www.2hraquarist.com/blogs/algae-control 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
