The only creature I've ever seen eating blanket weed were Mute Swans and they might have been after other stuff in the spyrogyra. Not very useful. In our patio water garden tubs I use chemicals. Pull it out by the bucket full, at certain times of the year, out of the garden pond. Ducks won't touch it and it doesn't compost.spyrogyra eate
It'll do nowt for your water quality either!!I don't think a swan will fit anyway, but thx
Sadly i don''t want to/can lower the light, i seem to need it as my tropical lilies are making new growth for the first time in 4 tries.
This tank is dedicated to the lilies for now, i am soooo happy to see new growth. I've tried these 4 times already. So i remove the algae everyday as good as i can, and as they are on the older leaves mostly, i hope i can trim them.
Do I have spyrogyra or something else?
@Edvet, those are in really good condition, you often find the chloroplasts lose their spiral structure and integrity under lower light in the winter.Single hairlike strand, unbranched, single cels, stacked end on end, cellength about 6 -7 times cel width
