Indica Pictures and The Dreaded Hair Algae

Ok, maybe not dreaded. If I had to pick an algae, this would probably be it. Its really easily removed.

Yes, I realize these pics are kind of plant aimed - but doesn't everyone like looking at pictures?

Ok, let me show you what makes me mad


I didn't think any of these pics would turn out well - I had been taking pics of my frog - but I thought I might as well just "use" the rest of the memory on the camera while I was there. Well, turns out I got some pics I WOULD have really liked because I like the reflection in the water. If it weren't for that gnarly algae.

More pics of the enemy.


Stupid, stupid algae


Well, after beating the mutant algae monster into submission, armed with nothing more than a Crest Toothbrush, I claimed victory over the beast. Too bad when I used the toothbrush it moved the stems around...




And, I happened to get 5 of my pgymies in a blurry shot! Aren't they cuties

Yes. It's rotala indica. Gets nice and bright bright pink under high lights with good co2. I like the look it gets on the tips when it reaches the surface. It is quickly becoming my favorite plant!
