Utricularia resistance to algae

Hi everyone,

I have a question here from a member of the ACPS who
doesn't have access to email. I decided to post it here, as
I have limited knowledge with Utricularia

"How sensitive are Utricularia to algae? My own assumption is that
different species would have different levels of resistances to it. My
U.intermedia was badly affected when cultivated in a tank, while U. inflata
growing at the same place, under the same conditions, was multiplying
happily. I seriously wonder what really determines the plants' level of
resistance."

Thanks,

Russell Elliott
