shrimp? fish? snail?

 

[danepatrick]

i think SAE, Florida Flagfish, Black mollies, and Rosy barbs (so i've heard).

 

[~T~]

Do you think apple snails would?

 

[Cardinal Tetra]

From what I've experienced SAEs and Nerite snails will eat it. Amano shrimp pick at it if I starve them but don't do much.

 

[danepatrick]

i don't think the snails would, but i could be wrong.

 

[mistergreen]

yeah, I would think snails are out of the question too.. They're grazers so basically, they eay GSA, GDA, and maybe bearded.. But staghorn is TOUGH..

Florida flag fish. He will eat most any algae

 

[Buckeye_Robert]

glass Rosy barbs will pick at your lighter colored plants like stargrass

Florida flag fish. He will eat most any algae

yeah, only if I can find a flag fish... I can't even find it online.

and yeah, I was going to say, rosy barbs will eat your plants too.
I guess a mollies it is...Too bad they don't sell regular sail fin mollies any more.. I like those the best.

azgardens has american flagfish in their algae eating fish section.

 

[mistergreen]

thanks! great link.

What category of algae does staghorn fall into?
Hair algae or thread algae?

SAE will eat hair algae.

 

[mistergreen]

i'm confused now.. I thought I had staghorn but the color looks like hair algae..
some picts.

That's definately staghorn. Just like others said, the Flagfish will eat it.
