Brackish pleco or algea eater?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think the easiest way to answer this is no. No pleco for that tank.

There could be other brackish fish that will it algae. You should ask in that section if the forum.
 
Nerite snails maybe. But they eat solely on algae though veggies occasionally. If you have adequate supply of algae, then try nerites otherwise don't or you will risk starving them to death.
 
It depends on just how high your SG is. Since brackish is anything between 1.002 and 1.025+, I believe you could keep a blenny in the higher part of that spectrum, but that's based on knowing only that they are salwater, and no knowledge of what their particular SG demands are.
 
Wow, that tank must be HUGE! How big is it? No BW cleaner crew, you'll have to do that yourself, although I had good luck with mollies in eating hair algae.
 
my water is around 1.010 with my archers and i have an adult chinese algae eater he really keeps the algae down to a minimum and the archers leave him alone as he don't take no sh*t !! He's been in there around 4 months and the brackish water has had no adverse affects. The reason i put him in there was i shut down another tank and he had no where to go so i put him in there as live food but he hid and now they all get along.
 
That's really not fair to any FW fish (even ones I don't like much). 4 months isn't saying a lot for the lifetime of a fish.
 
well he went in as food i didnt put him in there as a specimen and he's very quick, so catching it again is going to be pretty impossible with all the rock etc
