No there is no algae eating shrimp that won't be eaten by you peacock bass. A better idea would be a temporary pleco until your algae is gone and then return it.

My 2 plecos have pretty much eaten all the algae in my 75.

MoSt pleco don't eat algea. Get a uv sterilizer, use diff lights, or less light. Why so much algea to start? I'd look into the cause more because it is a battle you will prob lose unless you can find the source

Algea problems in the first month? Is the tank in direct natural sunlight?

 

[russian thc]

well i have 3 6500k lights and one actnic blue 10k light to make it sharper.

 

[caoder]

try using less light per day? like 8 hours seems like what most ppl suggest here.

Figure out WHATS causing the algae...

Photoperiod?
Water?
Excess feeding?
NOT enough water changes

Get a Gibbiceps Pleco it will clean your tank overnight!! It might also eat your plants tho
