So I set up a tank for my neices as their christmas present(they always want to come over to visit Nemo, not me)and there is a lot of algae build up going on, I dont know if it is normal or not(havent done freshwater in like 15 years)and just wanted to get some advice here.
Stock list
3 neon tetra's
1 Dwarf Blue gourmi
2 Mystery Snails
1 Moss ball(close to double the size of a golf ball)
1 Decent sized Amazon Sword
2 other plants that I cant remember the name of
Water is all Ro/Di that is from MCF so nothing coming from the water
Light is a PC fixture(some generic thing that was surprisingly cheap at old orchard)
It is a 10 gallon tank, so I guess two questions
1. Do freshwater tanks experience alagae blooms that are all natural and over time will stop?
2. What could be added to help with the algae cleanup(I dont want to condemn any livestock as a short term fix)
