Regular Member dahliemama Posted March 26, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2015 Api freshwater liquid Amonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0 ppm Ph 7.6 Last water change at 50% was Tuesday 60 gallon tank 2 aquaclear 70 filters 7 fish (tails included in measurments) 6 inch 5 inch 4.5 inch 3.75 inch 3 inch 2.75 inch 2.5 inch I have an led light which makes green algae possible. I let it grow hoping my goldies would graze on it. It might sound crazy, but I think there is algae growing out of the nostril on one of my fish. It is fine in every other way. Eats, poops, and swims normally. Is there anything I can do? Can I get rid of it safely? Thank you for any and all help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member dahliemama Posted March 26, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2015 I tried taking it out and I couldn't. Kind of hard trying to hold the fish, be careful not to hurt it and take whatever it is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Kate89 Posted March 27, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 How long has it been in there? My ranchu often ends up with black sand in her nostrils but clears it herself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dahliemama Posted March 27, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 I saw a dark spot for mayne a week and then I saw the green for a few days. Is there a way to kill green algae without hurting my plants and fish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted March 27, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 27, 2015 It's a little hard to tell from the picture. You don't have black sand, do you? Just a note to contemplate: 7 Goldfish in a 60 gallon is very overstocked and is likely to lead to health issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
