Red Algae

[dcarmor927]

i have this red algae growing in my 10 gallon which is currently home to my tiger barb fry...is this going to harm them if they ingest it? it has really spread in the last few days...thanks for any help...

looks like diatoms, will crop up in a new setup but will irradicate itself in time

so should i just let it go or take care of it?

 

[Truck]

leave it
