    I was doing my daily stare into my fish tank when I noticed these things they are very tiny little bubbles they are smaller than a bb. Just needing to know if this is good or bad or can even be identified.
    Thanks Nathan

    Yep, red bubble algae. I have green as do most people from time to time. A good way to control it is the Matrix or Emerald crab. I know they eat the green, but have no experience with the red. Give it a try and let us know.

    The emerald crabs eat that stuff too. i had a small plague of it in my tank and the crabs got rid of it pretty fast. i kinda think its kinda nice lookin.
