My 10g tank is now blacked out (diatoms). It will be interesting to see if three days without light and very minimal food brings out their homicidal tendencies.
I tested the water in the 12 galling to see if it was cycled and if I could move them into it. Nope. Ammonia is off the charts.
I noticed the diatoms yesterday morning, and I wondered if that's what they really were. This morning it was obvious. I'm guessing that this is an indication that I've been feeding them too much. I fed them the brine shrimp for the first time on Tuesday, and two days later noted the diatoms. Oops. I tend to over feed: but not as badly with pellets and flake food.
