I do 25% water changes with gravel cleaning, and I have a fluval 207 external filter in a 125 tank, I was feeding once a day. But have been trying out twice a day. Maybe should cut back to the one a day.They live on excess of nutrients like decaying plant material, bacteria, and other microorganisms. They are part of the natural cleanup crews...
They can be beneficial in aquariums by helping to maintain water quality. But, excessive growth can indicate a little too much nutrients generous environment.
Reducing decaying matter in the water layer helps, Fine mechanical filtration removes a lot of what they are feeding on.
Introducing strong competitors like pods and cods or shrimps are direct competition for them.

Interesting . I’ve never seen that ever in 59 years of fish keeping . Just learned something new .
But even if it would show up, there's no reason for worries.I all the years I have done palnted tanks I have never seen this sort of mold in any of them. I guess i am lucky?
I never seen it either.Me too!
