[what can I do]

I think it's brown algea, don't have to much light because thats probably what makes it grow.Or it could be because you put your tank by a window.

[Mr.helper]

its algae growing in your tank go to walmart in the pet section you will find some algae stuff you can use.

It is algae. You can get a algae scraper. Probably is algae. Hope I helped. p.s. I think their are things you can put in your tank to get rid of algae.

plecostomus i think is what the algae eaters are called (Pleco). Ask for one at your local pet store. You can put them in with most other fish and they will get along just fine.

if there is natural sunlight in the room at all then you would still have algae change the filter in your air filter and scrub the tank.

sounds like you need a tank change and a better filter system!
