    rust color algae????

    Thanks Nina7777 :) :) :) I appreciate the info. I did a water change, scrubbed the glass and vacuumed the rocks which seemed to help. I even left the light on for up to 18 hours a day for two days then cut it back to 16 hours, which is about normal due to my work schedule. I have not...

    rust color algae????

    I will try scrubing the tank, but what about the rocks, they are more covered with this stuff that the glass is. Do I need to remove the top layer, or will a vaccum help any? mommacakes

    upside down cat fish

    his color is great. he pretty much stays in the same area on the plant, but wiggles around on occasion. But i don't think he is eating. I can't be sure because I'm at work all day, but he is still in the same spot when I return. Is there anything else I should look for? I will keep a close eye...
