hi all, ive been watching my tank for the last few days and ive noticed white fluffy stuff covering the glass etc. is this algae? if it is how can it be treated. my room gets daylight everyday but no sunlight at all. half of the time i cover the half closest to the window because they like it darker.i have a snail in there when im home (im scared he'll attach onto lucian or demetrious) but it doesnt seem to help, hes just and ordinary 'mystery' snail.
 
Sharn - You don't treat it with chemicals, you just wipe it off with a sponge or algae scraper/mitt tool of your choice.

When I do my weekly 20% water change I wipe down the glass too.
 
oh ok, damn its ugly! and i have to have clear glass to go mozzie larvae spotting hehehe. ok ill get a cleaner thing tomrrow. oh this doesnt harm the animals does it? the algae i mean
 
Algae doesn't harm them that I am aware of. Algae just looks bad.
 
i have never had the problem of algae with my axie but i had that problam with my fish once and just kept useing a algae scraper and it was ok

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
