I accidentally triggered an algae bloom in my water snail tank by putting too many slices of cucumbers in, however, as I needed to clean the tank, I used the opportunity to drain tank, clean everything, including giving all my little "shellies" a good shell brushing before putting them back.
Yep, I got that with cucumber in my snail jars, also pear and apple slices! I now ONLY give carrot with zero issues but happy snails who, I believe, prefer it.! Love the idea of your giving em a scrub ❤️
Thanks Lauren. I put my new tank opposite a large window. Too much natural light. I couldn't believe how quickly the algae became established. I could only see the fish when they swam close to the glass. Now in a different location and all clear now (literally). 👍
Oddly enough, I seem to have the opposite problem. I am losing shrimp (red cherries), and I wonder if the fact that the aquarium glass is crystal clear indicates a lack of adequate food in the environment.
I could watch these videos all day. There so relaxing and informative, I enjoy that you take the natural approach to it rather than using a chemical.
I always add the clean-up crew first. But first, of course add the plants. Good vid. Octopus plants are amazing. Very fast growing.

@9:24... Beautiful Samurai Betta
Try getting a few bamboo shrimp. They are filter feeders, and they'll eat up that green water strait off.
Awesome videos.. Keep going.

No floating plants?
