Opinions please
I've had no problems previously with my anubias, and tank algae; but have recently encountered eaten leaves, roots covered in brown, hair algae; and purple looking fungus/algae near the filter inlet.
In regards to tank inhabitants, the main suspects would either be my colombian ramshorn snails, or silver dollars; though I have never had silver dollars chew anubias in the past.
Regarding algae, I suspect it's been from too much light, and have lowered the levels down; but I also haven't ruled out some sort of nutrient imbalance. In particular I've had to use salt for ich most recently.
Anyway I'd appreciate your thoughts, as I can't identify any single factor for it; ideally I want rid of the brown hair algae from the anubias roots asap!
