Hello all!
I have a hair algae problem in my 20 gallon long tank.. I don't really want to start adding a lot of chemicals or anything, I've tried several methods with no change.So I've decided to just find a fish or invert that will eat it.
My current stock is;
6 neon tetra
6 golden white cloud minnows
3 peppered cories
1 male german blue ram
What would be a good fish or invert that would remove hair algae effectively and not overstock my tank?
I have heard that SAE, Mollies, Amano Shrimp and Nerites can fix the problem.. My LFS suggested SAE. I can exchange them when they get to big for my tank, how does this sound?
Also included a picture of the problem... Just encase I didn't identify the algae correctly.
Thanks in advance!!
