Why is it easier to grow algae in my tank than any live plants? I've got a
29G tank, which has all the essential/default equipment (filter, heater,
hood, light, etc), yet all the plants I ever put in there die within a month
or less. But meanwhile, the algae seems to thrive, and grows on all the
plastic plants and tank glass, and some of it on the filter intake tube and
gravel, but not on the heater.
The tank is 2 years old, and has an angel, 5 mollies, 10 neons, 3 ottos, and
a clown pl3co.

TIA! -Geoff
