Hi, im sure this topic has been posted before but i have no time to search for it.
Ok so my question is this:
I have a newly set up tank and it is just finishing a fishless cycle and i have noticed a lot of hair algae (which doesent bother me too much), what does bother me is brown algae growing on the plants, so i was hoping that someone could give me the names of some fish that will happily eat this off the plants with out damaging the plant itself.
I have some plecos in an existing tank (RED, CLOWN and a rusty pleco) but these seem to destroy any plant i put in with them..
So any suggestion for the brown algae and the hair algea. I was thinking about amano shrimp but wasent sure if they would eat brown algae off the plants.
it is a well planted 55g tank by the way
Thankyou
