What do you do if there is not enough algae in your fish tank for your algae eater to eat?

This is a good problem to have. Most algae eaters enjoy munching on green algae. It forms a green powder like look on the glass or plants of an aquarium in high quantities. If your aquarium does not have any signs of algae you have some options:Feed them Algae WafersThis is found at a local fish store. They can be added to the water without fear of algae spreading. Some fish enjoy eating them and some seem to not like them.Feed them Zucchini, not CucumbersIf your fish don't eat algae wafers they might not be hungry due to feeding on something you don't see them eat. If you believe them to be picky you can entice them to eat and grow faster by blanching Zucchini and cut it into small sizes then add it to the tank. Rubber band it to something that sinks or poke it through with a BBQ skewer and stick it in the substrate. Don't leave it in the tank for more than 24 hours. Fish will not eat the skin.Feeding ScheduleAlgae eaters can survive on as little as 2 - 3 times a week feeding schedule. I feed my algae eaters once a week because there is plenty of micro algae that is unseen for them to much on. It depends on the species.Blue Green AlgaeFish do not eat blue green algae. Almost nothing does. It looks like a blue green slime coating on rocks and plants and is a sign of bad water quality. It is actually a bacteria that uses encapsulated photosynthesizing algae to endure in harsh environments. Caused mainly by too much phosphates and not enough nitrates. Lighting may be a factor as well.

If you enter a a room and smell a strong odor but the odor seems to fade away you have experienced?

You have likely experienced adaptation. When you are exposed to a strong odor for an extended period, your sense of smell can become desensitized to it, making the smell seem to fade away even though it is still present.


How many plants species are there in the world?

As in many areas of knowledge, improvements are taking place. And new tools of DNA mapping are changing the face of cladistics.Fungi whilst not being animals, seem to be like plants, but with a couple of exceptions. They use chitin rather than cellulose, and derive their total inputs from the decay of existing living things.[But the orchids start out by robbing a fungi as an initial food supply, and the Gastropodia orchids do this for their life!]There are about 100 000 identified species of fungi, and there may be up to 1.5 million of them. Fungi are today considered a separate kingdom from Plantae, though commonly they are considered as a plant.Excluding the fungi, there may be around 350 000 identified species of Seed Plants; Bryophytes (many of which do not have seeds) and mosses; and ferns and their allies. Included in that total are about 8000 species of algae. Algae come in three colours, green, red, and brown, and it is considered the chlorophyl plants developed from the green algae.

What is the difference between primary pigment and accessory pigment?

The main difference is the wavelengths of light that they absorb and reflect, this allows plants to make use of more wavelengths of light. Primary pigments also create electrons directly, however I can't seem to find what the accessory pigments do instead...anyways, hope that helps
