yvan Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi there, i have the following fishes in my 6 footer and I am wondering what sort of alguae eater I could introduce in order to control green alguae. -Aulonocara Maleri (1m 3f) -Juliochromis dickfeldi (1m 1f) -Synodontis multipunctatus (2) -Cyprichromis Leptosoma (1m 3f) -Cynotilapia Afra (1m 4f) Cheers, Yvan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6C1 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 A couple of bristle noses would be good if you don't want to house a pleco. They get fairly large! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Textiles Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yeah say, 4 bristlenose would do the job depending on where the tank is situated in the house if near a window you may need a couple more as algea growth will be increased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOG6ON Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have a 5x2x2 and for algae control i have 2 pairs of normal bristle nose and a pair of algae eaters all about the 5-6cm mark. The tank has windows on both sides of it and to the front (its in a 'sun' room) and they do a great job. I only get algae growing down off my lids. I hope that is helpful to you.
