Heh what should i add?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just add 2-3 otos and a bunch of java moss.

I have otos in my semi-planted tank and so far I hav no been disappointed with their algae eating abilities, I have not seen ANY algae since I've put them in there.

Also, a BN pleco might get a little big for a 10 gallon
 
My suggestion would be snails, otos or maybe black mollies. Of course their algae eating efficiency would be determined by how much food they were getting from other sources. As far as a Bristlenose Pleco, I ordered one for my 29 gallon and it was even too big for it, produced more waste than it cleaned up. If you did decide to go that route, I would suggest ONLY getting an albino as they are smaller. Good Luck!!

go with the java moss and snails: combined price of maybe $4.00

They don't eat algae, they suck the slime coats off of fish and give them hickies.
 
Are you trying to breed these guppies? I have a few guppy tanks set up(3 to be exact). On 2 of the tanks, I have a strip light(normal day time hours). On the walls of these 2 tanks , there is thich green algea. On the other 1, there is only ambient room light(normal day time hours). 2 of the tanks have the same stock list(3m/6f cobra). The tanks with lots of algea seems to have bigger, healthier guppies(they produce more fry too). And I found out that the fry grow faster and bigger with algea to munch on. So if its fry your after, let it go, but if you don't like the algea, then move the tank. I don't think to many animals could keep that algea down.
 
I guess i'll add some java moss and 1 snail. I dont think 1 snail can eat all the algee in my tank. its only on 1 side. and it dosent bother me that much.
 
i got 2 snails in a 5 gal on my window sill and they barely keep up. i would add 6 or so snails and feed them nothing, they will live off the algae and left over food
