Anything eat Green Hair Algae?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks for all the advice guys, although tbh, i think i was a bit quick to judge my nerites, since when i looked in the tank when i came home from work, it seems that they are slowly working their way over to where the hair algae is?

So i guess i'll give it another week or so and see how it goes, otherwise i may go the pleco route and throw it in the 200G if it gets too big, or possibly pick up another 2 nerite snails and see if that helps?

Since personally not a big fan of mollies / guppies... not to mention it wouldn't really work out coz i have other small fish in the tank that eat small foods which i'm sure the guppies etc would also eat...
 
snails and small shrimps! Pleco don't eat those thing much; when my outdoor concrete tank is full of algaes, I throw my smallest pleco in(it was about12-13inches) but it ate my koi foods instead of take care of those algaes!
 
^ Yeah, i've got an albino pleco in my 200G which i notice doesn't always eat the algae but loves "sucking" on scraps of mussels etc leftover from my puffer...

As for what i have now invert / snail wise is 2-3 nerites and about 6 cherries... but might add some ammano shrimp? or a few more nerites to see if that helps solve the problem, or at least keep it under control while i manually try to remove the rest...
