Justin's got the Paraguay Darter Tetra, Parodon affinis, which EATS HAIR ALGAE! He's got video proof of his fishes yanking and eating the stuff as well as before and after shots. They look and behave much like SAEs but they are tetras and are about 2 inches long. See here: http://www.hippocampus-bildarchiv.de...er/s59515.html

Went today to look for the tetras. Justin told me he was sold out already....

Yeah, no doubt. His enthusiasm and dedication are great marketing tools; it's no wonder he sells out quickly! I even bought some and I don't even have hair algae for them to eat!

those sound like a good alternative to sae's, which in my opinion get too big. can you post the next time just gets those algae eating tetras in again.

thanks,
tony
