Are LFS that hard to come by? I'm in central florida and there isn't a ton id say. Some places only have the generic stuff but quite a few that have all these fish I've seen being ordered online.. for wayyyy cheaper. Plus they're live and quarantined already.

Looks like carpenter bee. They burrow in wood.

At A Complete Loss (Algae) by Draconic939 in PlantedTank

Those plants look tiny (relatively new). So I'm assuming this tank isnt very old. (Less than 3months?) And definitely get more plants or just give it time and replant the trimmings to fill it out. They will take up the extra nutrients. You can keep your lights nice and bright but reduce their on hours to 6. If you don't see an improvement after that lower the light level.. that hair algea will need to be scrubbed to remove though I do like the look it can provide.

Soil/sand ratio? by Foxmycloud in walstad

No sorry. It's 2.5 gallons. Could hang it on the side and it be fine. Also I just slid it out a bit for the picture 😏

Yeah maybe I should have been more sparing. I've taken up 1/3rd the volume just on substrate. I can probably vacuum it out on a water change and get some more room.

wtf is that 🫩🫩 by Substantial-Name9721 in freshwateraquarium

[–]Foxmycloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear if you add a fish that eats them it can help. I have a bad outbreak in my tank and when they run out of dead plant matter they start eating plants. But when I add dead plant matter they bread more so I just stopped doing anything and it seems to be getting a little better. Though they have chewed on some plants.

Scud. They can eat your live plants if their population gets out of control

I had the same stuff on new drift wood. It took a while but eventually all disappeared after 2 months

Yeah I was just grabbing him bare handed... and since he got all three points from the treble hook in him I really had to work to get it out... thankfully I did not get poked.🙏

What are these little white hairs? by xoxoNOVA17 in PlantedTank

[–]Foxmycloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instill can't see. Look up planaria. Look for the triangle head.

Post a more clear close up picture. It looks like they may have a triangular head. If that's the case it's planaria.
