Hi everyone,
I have two guppies (and three pygmy cories) and a tank that has a bad algae problem. The algae literally popped up the day after I put live plants in. I don't want to move my tank to a place with less light, so I'm wipping off most of the the algae once a week. The deal is, I can tell my guppies are eating it ALL the time as they have green poo! Regardless of how much I clean, there will be some for them to nibble.
With that in mind, how often should I be feeding them and what should I feed them? Do they just need protein supplementation (like blood worms 2X per week) and would algae be fine the rest of the time?
