Hey Doug
Wipe the inside of the glass off.....Please.
That brown algea on the glass is making the tank water look dirty,
when if fact it is your glass thats dirty.
You Need a small pleco.It will keep you glass clean for you.
And No, it won't bother your FMs,they will chase it away from their nest site.
If your aunt overfeeds just do more waterchanges. (20-30% every 2-4 days)
Take care Doug.......

Hey, nice fish
I would suggest a bristlenose to keep control of that algae........ best algae eaters out there, and one would not bother your FM at all.
And by the way, the behaviour you spotted of the FM moving gravel....that is a normally a good indication they are getting ready to spawn.....especially if the gravel they are moving is near one of those flower pots.
One last thing...if it was my tank, I would swap the gravel for sand....then if anyone overfeeds whilst you are away it is much, much easier to vac the excess away.
Good luck with the fry when they arrive!

I wouldn't suggest a pleco, it will just add to the bioload. Just get a magfloat and clean it yourself. Its not that hard especially when you can keep it in your tank all the time. Atleast thats what I do.

He/She is right......
You do have enough fish in the tank.
Maybe a little tiny Pleco ?
Trade in a fish or two ?
Less fish, less mess.......
Maybe ?
Till your aunt moves , then you won't have to worry about it anymore.
No pleco is a good pleco. (unless Davo is here lol). He is just better off cleaning the glass himself, he will be better than any pleco would be.
