 | Growing Algae for Ottocinclus |
skystrife   Enthusiast Posts: 199 Kudos: 132 Votes: 37 Registered: 30-Aug-2002    | I was wondering, what past things worked for you guys. I started out with a glass (small) cup filled with tank water and some fertilizer. I now have floating blobs of brown stuff that looks like the fertilizer (i use a liquid fertilizer) in the cup, and no green algae growing on the sides. Is the brown stuff algae? How would my ottos eat the floating algae? I have the cup outside in direct sunlight. What am I doing wrong? What worked for you? Thanks!
