I got 3 Flagfish to eat the hair algae that is growing. Added another floating plant kind of like duckweed. This is what it looks like in big clumps in my 55 heated tank.
I was wondering the same. It’s like a duckweed, but a fern. It’s clumpey, and probably an inch and A half thick.
At a pond shop. It’s kind of big. Like, 100,000 gallons of ponds with koi. I asked the guy, and he said it was some kind of floating fern. It’s all over in the smaller tubs
Added 3 Flagfish for hair algae. The vibrant fins are so captivating ??. This is the same dominant male. They are now just reaching an inch and a half or so.
I asked on another forum and it was suggested it might be common Azolla.
Hair algae is tough in a glass tank that doesn’t stay in the shade. If you get much direct sunlight you need massive quantity of plants in order to really beat the algae. The flagfish were a good move/ another interesting occupant for your glass pond - and those gymnos are so funny to watch do there thing. Tons of attitude.
