some updates on my wet fish collection!

so I was out of town for four weeks and aquarium maintenance was reduced to “feed and fertilize twice a week, top off water as needed” courtesy of a friend of mine. the lights and CO2 were already on a timer, and I lowered the light intensity before I left. I came back to a ton of plant growth, and also a lot of algae!

the interesting thing to me is what kinds of algae grew. there is a decent amount of purple-ish dust algae covering the rocks and the crypt, some green fuzzy algae on the moneywort that managed to grow up near the surface, a small amount of cyanobacteria that was easily removed by plucking a few leaves, and, as you can see from the fluorescent green mass in this photo, a TON of hair algae that grew in a huge, homogenous mass. but no green water algae, no staghorn algae, the glass was mostly clear, and no blackbeard algae.

overall, it was a surprisingly easy cleaning job! the hair algae mostly came out en masse, and there are still strands of it throughout the aquarium, but I expect that it will die down soon enough now that I’ve done a water change and dumped in some flourish excel.

most amusing is that my neon tetras are no longer morbidly obese. between that and the lack of staghorn algae (which I had previously struggled with), this was a wakeup call to me about overfeeding my fish. I’ve since moved her highness the betta fish to a desktop tank, so I’m hoping that I can adjust my feeding tactics to be able to feed both the neons and all the loaches without relying on overfeeding to ensure that food gets to the bottom of the tank.

here’s the post-maintenance look:

I actually quite liked the jungle vibes before I cut all the plants back, but I think it made me realize that I actually really don’t enjoy the look of the rotala macranada (it’s the middle one of the taller plants remaining). the pink is inconsistent and ends up looking muddy, and it shoots out aerial roots like nothing else once it gets tall enough. I ripped out the ludwigia on the left side to replace it with ludwigia super red that I trimmed from my desktop tank, and I think I’m going to just rip out the rest of the rotala macranada later and fill the space in with more ludwigia super red and pogostemon erectus (which I ADORE).

once that’s done, I can let everything jungle out a bit more again. I enjoy the “so many plants you can’t see the back” look best!
