Yes i had the same problem i added some sea salt its ok now. I took the wood out as soon it started to come up i washed it with hot water and put the wood in the oven with very strong heat to eliminate it put the wood back in the water and put a couple of tea spoons of sea salt it seems to have worked with no problems. I think it also causes velvet on killifish and salt also protects the scales of the fish and i have had no bad effects on my java moss they seem to still thrive even in salt water

@vassilis359995 Thanks for the comments, actually, the Green Dot algae was there before adding wood, i just noticed them against the dark background after adding the wood.

And coincidentally Just after uploading the video, I did a water change and added 1tbsp of salt per 5 gallon in the tank and I am sure thats going to help tank, the fish have perked up more. that is what i always do if i see some algae and nervous fish in tank.

Record the progress of your tank too by taking pics/vids. :)

Dude i missed your videos im waiting to see new stuff from you. Im gonna start a new tank with Nothobranchius eggersi i cant wait man and my patrizi are doing really well i have them feeding on raw fish from time to time as it gives me a break from hatching brine shrimp. I dont think they eat flake they are more into freeze dried as i also add some blood worm to their diet. My brine shrimp i hatch and keep in the fridge for days and add some time to time.

sorry for the delay in video, I have just uploaded it, the camera was not with me for 2 days.

I now have problem in tank, there is GreenDotAlgae and the riccia on driftwood suddenly has some redgreen aglae threads, going to see what i can do about it. The tank looks very nice according to me atleast.

I tried feeding them crushed flake food today but they spit it back out should i wait another day for them to get hungry so they can swollow it or is there special fish food i can give them??

@vassilis359995 now you are entering in tricky phase.

Try to starve them by giving food only 1 time in the day, Next day, try to give bbs and then crusted flakes , together . they will soon eat both and will know crusted flakes is their food too.

In my tank, only females eat crusted flakes/food and dried blood worms, the males never come up to the tank surface to eat this and stay scared in grass and starve and start going thin :( i hav to feed live food daily.

Oh and forgot to mention that i moved my tank away from the window

[vassilis359995]

I hope your tank and fish are ok im sure they will be notho seem to be very hardy fish im sure they will be ok good luck on the algae problem there is so much medicine in pet shops for this problem

[vassilis359995]

Thank you so much

takes time, thats why its pricey, the riccia you see floating in my video? its easily worth US$ 30. $5 for 2inch by 2inch patch.
