    A special thank you to whoever it was that shared how to make our own algae to sure my otos were fed after they cleaned the tank and would not eat anything else. ("Clean" water from the tank into a bin. Pump of liquid fertilizer, add clean/established rocks/decor, place outside in direct sunlight)

    What are my siamese algae eaters doing?? (Video attached)

    In my 55 gallon aquarium I have 2 siamese algae eaters (I now know I need more, but the store I bought them from said it'd be fine to start with 2; I'm currently stuck searching for a few more in the middle of winter with no local fish store or aquarium club). The 2 I do have, however, have been...

    Idk how to close threads but I'm all good now lol

    UPDATE (11/18/20): I now have 2 Siamese Algae Eaters which I got from a fish store that was a bit of a drive away, but worth it. I wanted the fish because they're from the riverbanks in Thailand and Myanmar (the theme of my tank). I promise I understand I need to deal with any algae issues with...

    Algae Eaters In Hard Water

    Hi TFF. Ā  Old member here.Ā Ā  Ā  Wanted to pick everyone's minds on what kind of fish to stock an outdoor pond in the summer.

    True Sae?

    Hello everyone! I'm not usually one to post on forums, though I do often visit and read them. However, I really wanted some opinions on this. I was at Petco and I saw this fish that I immediately thought was a Siamese Algae Eater. It was labeled as a Flying Fox. I decided that they could have...
