I have a 10gallon tank, divided into 2 sections. The middle section is just big enough to hold the filter(so the water flow is even each side)
1 side is Milligan my CT and the other is Ghost my rescue VT. Milligan is about 5 months old and Ghost I *think* about 3-4 months old - he was about 1 1/2 inches when I got him (not incl. tail!)
I did a water change yesterday, but I noticed on the side where Ghost is, the rocks were covered in green algae... Milligans rocks were clean. The flow from the filter goes stragiht out so its not like Milligan has a bigger current to keep it filtering better. Is there something wrong with Ghost maybe? He is eating fine, blows teeny tiny little bubbles against the glass. Swims all around and rushes over to the side to see me. Milligan also is fine.
1 thing that is weird though, is that before I had Ghost I had another rescue called Spike in the same side where Ghost was. He was an adult, and when I found him dead (
) all his rocks were green too. I just dont get why only 1 side of the tank will get alot of algae and the other, none atall. There is absolutly NO direct sunlight on the tank. Hmm actually maybe it was because the light in the hood was mainly over that side of the tank
?? Just thought of that possibility. Its now in the middle of the hood so each side has the same amount of light now. Do you think this could be the reason? Or is there a chance Im going to find my little Ghost dead too just like Spike 
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
