Re: [AGA Member] Grey Algae in Java Moss



This is interesting...
Can you photo this mass ???
I would take some infected moss and introduce it to an Amano shrimp - It
might eat the gray stuff  but also the moss....
In my case (I have 20 in a 100 gallon tank) they didn't yet touch the moss.

Subject: [AGA Member] Grey Algae in Java Moss


> I have a 90 gallon heavily planted 21/2 year old tank with little, if any,
algae (just a few hard green spots on old broad leaves). I need to scrape
the glass perhaps once a month. However, Java Moss  planted on some
driftwood, among anubias, has developed a grey like mass growing throughout
only the moss. It grows in small masses nowhere else but the moss. It does
not impede the growth of the moss but is unsightly to my eye but not really
noticable unless you get up close. I tried algaefix but it has no effect on
this algae (I'm assuming it is an algae). I have removed the moss down to
thestrands adhering strongly to the wood. As soon as it grows back the grey
masses appear again. I can find no reference to it in any of the literature.
Does anyone have an idea what it may be and what, if anything, can be done.
