How big is you C,a,e ?? Mines at a rough guess of 2.5 inch - 3 inch in length and you say yours is big
just wondering As I don't want to Jane Any issues with mine as he seems quite peaceful

And rumour has it black mollies are good algea eaters. Well mine was always eating it in my old tank.

Not sure if allowed but here's a link to another site tht has a list of some algea eaters that might help you in your search

Oto cats, great algae eaters. Make sure to get a school of 10 or so, as they don't do well on their own and top out at an inch and a half.
