Re: Bleach treatment and 'blue' snail
Yoadie yo ho !!!
Based on a message from David Webb to All,
Let's talk about: Re: Bleach treatment and 'blue' snail
DW> Brown apple snails eat the long variety of red algae. I don't know
DW> whether that's beard or brush. They don't appear to eat the short
DW> variety. From what I've seen, the long variety grows in my tank under
DW> high light conditions when there isn't enough CO2 available. It's
DW> about an inch long and grows in mats covering the leaves of my plants.
DW> The color is a very dark reddish black. The short variety grew in my
DW> tank when I wasn't using as much light. It attached itself to
DW> fixtures and to the older leaves of my plants. It was the same color,
DW> but had a velour texture. This algae turned a very light green when I
DW> upped the lighting on the tank (my observation). These may be two
DW> different growth patterns of the same algae. I don't know, but the
DW> apple snails didn't seem to make as much of a dent in it.
I have the long variety of red algae in my tank, and the
aplle snalis are not doing anything about it, even though
they're probably underfed and quite hungry all the time...
