To anyone who's had a brown algae problem recently or is still plagued by it. (and i know there are quite a few out there)
I just got a Synodontis multipunctatus catfish. Also known as a Cuckoo Catfish, also known as the Many Spotted Catfish.
not only is he absolutely beautiful, he started eating away at my brown algae the second i put him in the tank. he worked all night, and cleared one of my caves of brown algae on the outside. he's an industrious little guy.
he's just a baby i guess, as he's only 1.5" or so, but from what i've read on them they can get from 4"-6".
So anyone who's wants an awesome looking catfish, and one that does a great cleanup job of whatever kind of algae you have, give this guy a shot...
Synodontis multipunctatus!
