hi bro i got a question to ask.cheato can go asexual?if they become white what will hapen to my water parameters?thanks

[ClOwNy_LoVeR]

thanks in advance:)

They won't go asexual and cause a nutrient overload in your tank.

[ClOwNy_LoVeR]

so nothing will hapen?thanks

If I'm not wrong, Cheatos are single cell algae. Single cell algae won't go asexual one.

I believe they will still rot if for some reason unable to survive....

Bro, I think there is a typo here, Cheato are multicellular thus they won't go asexual.

Single cell algi will go asexual.

will it spread to another place? example suddenly you see in another place has chaeto growing by itself

Real life example of one that will go asexual:

I dun think so.

They are pretty harmless.

Ensure flow for maximum growth.

And loosen the crumps once in a while also.

so if turn white just take out and nothing will happen?thankS:)

[RockyBoy]

Turn white? Your cheato lightings enough?

[ClOwNy_LoVeR]

i just asking i using 150 mh and 2 underwater lights inside inbetween the cheato:)

[Achilles Tang]

Cheato almost indestructible in normal tank parameters... it won't turn white unless you dry it out completely.

[ClOwNy_LoVeR]

ok thanks.btw what is those red things along the cheato?thanks.like mostly is green but some parts coated with red tings like algae grow on it like that

[Oceandeep]

my chaeto change to red color.... y??

[Achilles Tang]

If there are bits of detritus that are stuck on the chaeto strands, and light does not reach that part, only that part may turn white, but the whole clump won't be affected.

[Oceandeep]

that is turn white.. but my is red...?? And the light is shinning at all portion of the chaeto..

[blueheaven]

Its probably cyano growing on your chaeto

[Oceandeep]

which mean?? Good or Bad?? And is a indication of what over or not enough??

Hi there!

What's the best way to keep it from rotting and help it grow crazy?

Thanks,
