I’ve had a problem with yellowish brownish algae on my glass for a little while now, no matter how many times I scrape it off with an old credit card, it always comes back even though my room is in low light. Can I get algae eaters of some sort? My local and petsmart and petco have false and regular Siamese algae eaters. They stay about minnow size and I don’t believe they have spines. Could I get a couple to eat the algae off the glass? They are also quick so it would be harder for my axolotl get catch them.
 
They’re known for being aggressive with other fish so I wouldn’t risk it with an axolotl.
 
Nope - no fish clean up crews are safe, no snails. Shrimp like ghost and cherry only. Other than guppies and livebearers of course.

You have an imbalance in nutrients - I'd say more water changes to get rid of the nutrients the algae is feeding off of

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
