Algae Eaters With Betta's?

[catherine896]

Just wondering if you get algae in a betta tank whats the best way to keep the algae down is there any type of fish you can put in there to cure the problem or is it just shrimp or snails which is best to use?

Thanks.

you could try shrimp although some bettas prefer them as food

What size is the tank?

Depending on the size of the tank, otos would be ok.

24"x12"x12" is almost 15 gallons. Otos are such fun little guys. I highly recommend them and they (usually) make good betta tankmates. With a tank that size get 3 of them (they prefer groups). I had one oto (before I knew they liked groups) in with one of my bettas before and they got on great. Oh, and they are algea eating machines!

What do you guys recomend for a 6 gallon tank? I have 1 betta in a 6 gallon and I sure could use some help with Algae.

Thanks,
