Should I be getting moss this early on a new aquarium I decided to do a fish on cycle on my new fluval 240 aquarium and miss is already quite considerable after 4 weeks I'll take a pic. On the aquarium glass on the rocks and on the driftwood.
Am I bet getting a pleco and a Cory?

It does look a bit like moss...is it on the rock or the wood?

That tiny bit of moss will grow... As for algae, it's not a bad thing to have in your tank, it gives the fish something to eat in between the meals you feed them. It's a natural environment and at the moment it's not excessive enough to warrent a pleco unless you want one and will feed it algae wafers and veggies? Plus they poop a lot! A snail would be cool though?
