Add an algae eater like twig catfish (Farlowella) or try a goodeid like Ameca splendens. They will polish the plants without damaging the plant tissue.

Good luck,

Are your plants ok, though? If so, then you have too much fertilizer in there, which the plants can't consume. Along with algae eaters, you might also want to consider lowering the amount of plant food in the tank.

Seeing as how this was your first post, :hi:. Introduce yourself in the newbie section.

I would recommend a water change once a week. Also increase the filtration (if you can), introduce algae eaters and reduce food that you feed fish. Stop using the plantamin for a couple of weeks until the algae is reduced.

The 2 important culprits are nitrates & phosphates. Check your nitrates (atleast).
