[scoobyandy]

I have some variaty of a floating weed on the top of my tank, seemed to appear after getting some plants from LFS. It grows like mad and i have problems getting rid of it, i try getting it all out but within a few weeks its everywhere again.

Can anyone help me please

Thanks

What kind of plants did you get? I've read that when *some* plants reproduce, the young ones break off and float to the surface.

To be totaly honest i have no idea, im a bit new to fish keeping. Problem i also have now is that there is some baby fish in tank and am bother about scooping them out when get weed out.

It s a bit like what the call "fairy moss" on an outdoor pond

Dont wait a few weeks just keep removing it!!

It's probably duckweed. It is really hard to get rid of, but if you constantly take out anything you see, you'll probably get rid of it sooner or later.

Does anyone know the best way to removve it? I have babies in there and dont want to acidently scoop them out as they spend most of their time up there!
