RE: [AGA Member] Bacterial algae?



Ramshorn snails consume Cyanobacteria quickly. I've seen this happen and observed associated snail population explosion. Amazing. Would never of thought this to be possible.

I think there may be an association between Blue Greens and DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbons). Nutrient limiting factors may promote Cyanobacteria. This could happen in sections of a heavily planted aquaria lacking a water current sufficient to knock off metabolic wastes from some plant tissues on the one hand, and delivering essential nutrients on the other.
