Does anyone know what I can use to clean my RES's shell as he has algae or moss on it ?
I have used cotton balls to rub off some of it but it accumulates daily. I do use distilled water in his filtered tank.
Thanks! Smile

a soft bristle tooth brush, and VERY gently scrub his shell. Remeber it does have feeling and you can hurt it.
