So, even with the extensive cleaning. Like a lot of turtles, mine occasionally gets a bit of green algae on her shell. I usually just clean it off, no big deal.
Lately she has gotten a bit of whiteish colored algae on her shell, or at least I believe it to be algae? Looks the same, only white. I wiped it off, and it doesn't seem to have any effect on her shell. But a few patches show up, here and there.
Is this a big deal? Or just another sort of algae?
She has no shell rot, and is perfectly healthy. I guess I could be worrying over nothing?
I'd show some pictures, but I cleaned it off already. :[
Also, I know this may be a dumb question. I know larger fish, such as Oscars can in some cases be housed with Stinkpots. But would an algae eater just be turned to food?
The algae isn't bad at all or anything. There is never any noticeable in the tank. Just curious.
