They came in smaller than Ken had been told they would be, but they still look great. I picked up 2...taking a gamble, but at those prices, just couldn't get the normal-sized group.
Yes, that's hair algae...the bane of my existence! There's a rock under the algae, somewhere. The fish don't seem to mind it, but it gets into the impellers on the filters, and is a royal pain to clean out. The only fish I have that will touch it are a breeding pair of Amphilophus hogaboomorus, and they didn't eat it...they just needed to clear a spawning site. Anyway, I won't complain: my water is great out of the tap for most of my fish...but there's something in there that the algae loves, too.
