Aaron Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 ok so i came home tonight and noticed my algae eater lying on his side looking like he's about to go to the big tank in the sky, so i had a real good look around the tank and spoted some funny green stuff on the gravel looks more like slime than algae and its consintrated in one area also heaps of white spores in different places of the tank now i know what ur thinking its just bits of food but the thing i havent feed my smaller tank flake food for awhile they have been only feed blood worms the last two weeks on top of that the ph is 6.2range but im in a catch 22 situation because i changed the filter sponge in the weekend cause the other one started falling to bits is this mysterious green stuff doing damage to the tank should i do a water change to suck some of it up there are only 5 fish in the tank as others are in the bigger tank will post some pics if you look closley you can se the white spores all over the place any help appriciated http://community.webshots.com/photo/143394839/178492506btUJdf http://community.webshots.com/photo/143394839/178492654TAAqvL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I didn't see any of the green stuff, but it'll be cyano bacteria. Basically green slime algae. And the white stuff is moldy food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fins Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I have some dark green slime that randomly comes and goes in only one of my tanks, maybe its my bristlenose that is eating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
