Blue/green algae spots

[Jen]

I have tons of tiny algae spots growing on my glass. I scrub them off, but they always come back. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Get hold of some algae eaters like Otocinclus, SAEs or plecos and they should keep it clean. Your 1 CAE is probably overworked

Sounds like you might have "green spot algea". I don't have a picture handy, sorry, but a quick web search should find a few.

If that's the case, I don't think any fish will eat it. From what I've found (I've got it, too), you're stuck with scraping it to remove it.

I am getting green spots on my Anubias leaves...

Fish won't eat those even?

Get a bristle nose pleco they will eat anything if they are hungry enough. Other wise read Effective Algae Control.
