What eats algae?...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
get some otos and shrimp. but be warned, youre asking for a miracle fish that most likely doesnt exist. the most effective way to keep algae in check is proper lighting/co2/dosing levels.
 
There is a cheap fish called an Algae eater that would do the trick,or just keep your lights off.
 
What's the common name for oto cats?
 
SAE = Siamese algea eater

Edit: person above posted while I was typing :)

I actually cannot get enough algea in my tanks ... wish I had more.
 
BTW, I will check about the SAE's.

Wouldn't those end up as snacks for his monsters?
yeah. i didnt catch the part about him having monster fish. there really is nothing that he can get the wont become a snack. otos and shrimp are tiny and will be a snack as soon as they are dropped in the tank. they dont stand a chance
