I'm sure this is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find
reference to it in the archives. I put some new plants into my tank
about 2 weeks ago--pgymy chain swords--and as of yesterday, they are
covered w/a blue/grey fuzz--very unsightly :) It is on a few of my
other plants now too and I would like to stop this quickly! I have
Flags, chinese algae eaters(I know!), plecos and corys as my clean up
crew, could I get something else? I have already decreased feeding--any
other ideas?

This is a new experience for me as well. In about 30 years of aquarium
keeping
I never had brush algea. About 6 months ago I purchased some new amazon
swords
and about two weeks later noticed it. Since than I've been cleaning it out of
all my
tanks on a weekly bases and it just keeps comming back. Nothing wants to eat
it.
