| Thats cladophora. Its very hard to get rid of. Remove the wood from the tank asap and treat the algae with direct application of hydrogen peroxide |

can add amazon swords and dwarf sagittaria. Let the dwarf sags carpet the entire ground surface. add more java moss on the driftwood.
let the algae on the driftwood be. It adds to the look and it will feed the shrimp. |
