Hi,
A big hello to all of you from a newbie to this forum as well as to planted tanks as a hobby. I am from India and the planted tank bug has bitten me only recently.
The call for help is with regards to algae. I have read up some relevant stuff on this forum and now I think I have an understanding of what i am doing wrong (like poor flow, not enough plants, poor CO2 injection etc).
While I am in the process of fixing these, I need some help with identifying what algae I am dealing with. I have read Dusko Bojic's fine article, but it has left me confused about what algae i have.
The link is this : http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ashleycherian/DSCN2834.jpg
I was under the impression that it is BBA but after reading up his article, it looks like fuzz or thread. But its short unlike fuzz or thread algae. It cannot be removed with a brush and the Chinese algae eater pair havent been on much help yet ( I got them only today though).
Can someone help with an ID?
Thanks
flip-flop!
