I have read and have experienced, BBA spreading and growing, I thought i'd make a thread on this.
Ok so my question is, can BBA spread, and Grow. Some opinions are that its like ich, (which it is) and just spores all across the tank like any algae, and where it lands it sits, and gets larger (growing).
My experience, I have first hand seen it actually Spread, and Grow, like a plant or moss. It just grows wherever it can touch.
Whats your experience? this to me is a really stumping subject.
Here at these links, they say this: (whats in quotes)
"When it first begins to grow"

"and then spreads rapidly all over the aquarium"
