Hello everyone!
I posted frequently a while ago when I was just starting. I lost two cories along the way (they just stopped eating...) but all else is well, especially relations between me and my betta, Mr. Velvetine. He's an absolute sweetheart!
The temperature here has recently sky rocketed! It's not meant to be this warm. So it's probably a heat wave that'll end this week. But the thermometer on my tank (it's a stick on the glass one) it says it's 90 degrees!! Is it measuring air temp along with the water temp? Or is that really what's inside the tank? In that case...I've already turned my heater all the way down...shall I just take it out?
I've also recently gotten an invasion of what I think is blue/green algae. The kind that just coats everything. I decreased the number of hours the lights were on for two weeks or so...yet it's still around. Any recommendations on how to battle this beast?
thanks!
