🌿🌿What is Black Hair Algae?🌿🌿

Also known as black brush algae, this type of algae is one of the most common algae in a planted tank. It is also one of the most difficult algae to remove in the planted tank.

It has certain damage to aquatic plants and will affect the beauty of your planted tank.

The features of black hair algae:

🌿 1. Light
The black hair algae is a kind of algae that can use almost all visible light for photosynthesis, and the photosynthesis it can perform is impossible for other aquatic plants and other plants. This is why it is easy for it to survive in any environment.

🌿 2. Nutrition
Its body contains an ammonia-fixing enzyme, which can convert the dissolved ammonia in the tank and absorb it by itself, but it has a weak ability to absorb phosphorus.

🌿 3. Reproduction
The black hair algae are mainly derived from spores-like reproduction. They usually bring in these spores when other new creatures are kept in the aquarium.
