10 gallon cycled tank with 3 Gardneri killifish, 6 corys, and 2 nerite snails. Cycled, 0/0/15. It is only on my amazon sword plants. I’ve not noticed it until I moved today and had to completely redo my tank!

what do you think? I have algaefix chemicals but that’s a last resort.

Green spot algae, possibly due to low phosphate combined with too intense lighting. Do you use liquid ferts at all? Saying that, phosphate is normally provided by fish food...
 
Sorry, meant root tabs as opposed to liquid ferts (its late here i should probably go to bed!) Amazon swords are more of a root feeder, do you use root tabs?
