Info

J.Agardh, 1887

This species is dark green in color and can develop very large cells (more than two inches) but normally only grows to 0.5 - 2 inch in diameter (one of the largest cells known). They can look like green marbles with a bright reflective glare. It is the bubble algae that we most see in our aquariums.

Ich hatte einmal das \"Vergnügen\" einer echten Kugelalgen - Plage! Es fing ganz harmlos an, hier mal eine, da mal eine... Und auf einmal sind sie regelrecht \"explodiert\"! Alles war voll davon! Strömungspumpen, Lebendgestein, Bodengrund...selbst die Turboschnecken kleideten sich im schicken Kugelalgen - Look...:-( Jeder freie Fleck festen Untergrundes wurde von diesen Dingern erobert...
Gelöst wurde das Problem durch einen Naso elegans...der hatte die Kugelalgen zum Fressen gern! Nach zwei Wochen hatte sich die Plage erledigt...Und obwohl der Naso nicht mehr da ist (nächtlicher Selbstmord inklusive Landgang), halten sich die Algen in Grenzen. Was damals zu einer solchen Massenvermehrung geführt hat, kann ich mir bis heute nicht erklären...

1-2 Kugeln tauchen bei mir im Nano in Abständen von Wochen immer wieder mal auf und verschwinden wieder. Die Chlorodiella nigra dürfte daran ihren Anteil haben. Mir gefällt sie eigentlich ganz gut.

ich habe auch eine sehr seltene Kugelalge in meinem Aquarium aber seit ich einen Lebenden Stein eingesetzt habe hat sie allerdings schwarze punkte und wirkt ziemlich blas.....
ist sie krank? was kann ich dagegen machen?
