Drake Mitchell Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Can anyone identify this algae? It is growing on my java fern from aquarium coop. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Billy Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 If im not mistaken, it appears to be staghorn algae. From the picture it looks like you may also have the beginnings of some black beard algae forming as well. You can treat it with some 3% hydrogen peroxide, or Seachem flourish excel. Here is a link that will better help you understand the root causes of your algae problem, as treatment will get rid of it short term, but a little knowledge and preventative measures is cheaper and goes a long way. I keep this website book marked as it is a great resource that i return to quite often. https://www.2hraquarist.com/blogs/algae-control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
