I have a 6 gallon aquarium thatās been running for about a year.
I put 3 blue dream shrimp in it and theyāve since multiplied to 7 (maybe more)
Itās heavily planted with guppy grass, jungle val, and Pearl weed.
The substrate is an organic garden soil capped with 2ā of gravel.
Itās had this type of algae or something growing on the plants and glass for a while now. It hasnāt affected the plant growth or the shrimps at all as everything is breeding and multiplying. The gravel is covered in about a quarter inch of what I believe is mulm.
Iāve tried leaving the light off for a few days at a time and it didnāt work at getting rid of the algae.
Not really sure how to explain what it looks like but I added pictures to hopefully help.
Also my Gh is low, My kH is very high, and my pH is high. Nitrates and Nitrites are next to nothing.
If anyone can identify it or help me get rid of it Iād very much appreciate it thanks.
