Just wondering what everyone recommends for algae in a freshwater aquarium? Ever since I purchased my Discus and raised the temp. to 86 degrees, I’ve noticed more greenish-brown algae on my tank. It’s kind of slimy, too.

I need something to control the algae, but also something that’s not going to mess with the bacteria in my tank or harm my fish. I have 3 cory cats and a few ghost shrimp, too.

Thanks so much!!

Some more info: I have a 55 gallon aquarium with a Penguin BioWheel 350. No live plants, a few artificial, though. Aquarium rocks line the bottom and I have a few castles as decor.

my cobalt blue, and red discus, spawning , they do this alot but so far have not raised the eggs past three days

I would like to add a few discus and exotic plecos to my tank. The local fish stores here sells very sickly looking discus for $40 minimum. An online store, somethingsfishy.com sells the same type of discus I want, plus plecos I can’t find anywhere locally, for a fraction of the price. Even w the shipping charges, is still cheaper. Anyone has experience w this site? Can they be trusted?
