flagtails algae eating ability

[the_deeb]

Does anyone know if flagtail prochilodus will eat red brush algae?

I'm not sure about that algae, but a 6" OBLITERATED the brown algae in my 180g in 48 hours. It was incredible.

flagtails are the best cleaners on the planet butter than a pleco

if a flagtail can move the algue nothing will

Well, I answered my own question. Unfortunately, the answer is no. I threw some algae-covered java fern that into the flagtail's tank. DanH - you were right he completely cleaned off the brown algae, but hasn't seemed to be able to do any damage to the brush algae.

I've got 4 Of at 1.5-2" them in 4x2x2 and all the alge has gone.
