Hi,

Getting these white spiderweb-like thin threads to my aquarium. Just removed them yesterday and today the longest ones are alrady about 5 cm. Thread algae is a natural guess, but these associate also with mold in my mind.

They grow only on rotala rotundifolia, mostly near the surface. The other part of the tank is covered by frogbits, but not this part because of the stream from the filter pushes frogbits away. Any ideas how to get rid of these guys?

Sorry about the picture quality.
