Brown algae

[Iamchzh]

Hi, need help to get rid of my brown algae growth on my plants, not much on rocks and glass, but all my plants are affected.

Those are diatoms, common in new tank setups... they will usually disappear after some time, but if your tank is cycled, you can introduce some cherry shrimps or otocinclus, they will eat up the brown algae on the plant leaves.

Thanks, I will try the otocinclus,, i am afraid my fish would make snacks out of the cherry shrimps.
