What would be the best way to control the growth of Staghorn algae? I have plenty of them on my plants. I was told that Rosy barb would eat them. Is that true? How many of them I need to get? I already have a few tiger barbs. Should I lessen the lighting too? I have it on 5 hrs in the morning, then a 2 hours break follow by another 8 hrs of light. After that I have moonlight turned on until the next morning. I have a total of 40W put into a 32g tank.

Many thanks.

Is Cherry barb also good for Staghorn algae? What is your experience?
