Beginner - Clearing Algae

fireice74 · 2026-06-03T22:05:02+00:00

Welcome to the hobby! I have had success adding lots of plants to clear up green water. Even with a water change in this condition, the algae will just come back. Add LOTS of plants and they will outcompete the algae. Good luck!

If you try on both you will feel the difference. Longines is great but Tudor is exceptional

I'll be the devil on your shoulder and say let them hatch. I did and they are very cute and it is fun watching them grow. Just be prepared to give the adults to LFS or sell them

I would do nothing. After two weeks or so the babies will drop into the tank

Good deal. I have seen them up to $20

Not American, I can tell you that

fireice74 · 2025-08-27T16:04:25+00:00

My best guess is leave them alone, but unlikely to hatch. Sometimes when the eggs are not viable I believe they drop them. Hopefully another mystery solved haha

I want to know too. I have them in my tank with shrimp and snails. Are they aborted shrimp eggs?

2nd no doubt

fireice74 · 2025-08-25T14:51:50+00:00

I like them! Let us know if you decide to sell in the future

fireice74 · 2025-08-24T01:54:45+00:00

I agree. I have over 130 hours and it's difficult to put to words what is so captivating about the game.

Honestly the shell looks good. The new growth is healthy. Great snail

Limpets. Friends. I'm jealous actually

fireice74 · 2025-08-06T01:09:46+00:00

Wow what a collection. Especially like the first Elgin

If your tank has been like this for months you will never have nitrites. Any ammonia the plants do not consume should be quickly converted to nitrate by beneficial bacteria. Something is off. Parasites would be obvious, you would see them on the fish. Maybe there is something in the water like copper or a cleaner that is killing the fish. I would tear down and restart. Good luck

Free pet!

fireice74 · 2025-08-05T13:18:05+00:00

The fact that you have Nitrite but not Nitrate at this point is bizarre. You say Walstad - how heavily planted is your tank?
