Hair algae, how to get rid of it?

[ss720]

Due to high no3 in my tank during cycling, hair algae has arrived.

Will do some manual removal and water changes to get rid of most of the visible algae and to lower no3.

But is there any fish/shrimp that eats them?

I'm getting 15 amano shrimp and 15 oto's next week, do they eat them?

Also does black Molly's eat them as well?

I've used a toothbrush and got my no3 down.

Toothbrush is amazing for removing them. Now I have to stay on top of y water changes.

I got it in one of my tanks from plants I grabbed at an auction, I just let it grow on decorations then move them to my wifes tropheus tank. They tear it up. cant beat free food
