| I use a clean paper towel to wipe off algea, so that would work.
Any chance you could post a pic, see if someone can ID it? | |

They might be eggs, i havent thought about it, i have the pic, i PROMISE i will upload it tomorrow, it shows the little balls really well...
Ive read that females release eggs whenevr they see a male, i had my male in the tank with them, only he was on the other side of the divided auarium, maybe they released them?? | |

| i have that in my tank, i just let my algae eaters munch away, or you could get a magnet thingo, or a algae liquid or block. i heard they work, but i've never used them. | |

| Aquarium wipes work well on algae. They are fish/plant safe and deter regrowth of algae on the glass. | |
