Hi, so I have had a minor problem with green hair algae and bba for a while in my tank. It is mostly caused by a large amount of natural wood in the tank, which attracts algae, and my light is not strong, I dont fertilize, there could be more plants.
I dont mind the algae that much, but maybe something could be done to help out with it.
Question is, what would work and what wouldnt and if I should
120x50x60cm
8 marthae hatchetfish
30 ember tetras
20 rummynose tetras
12 sterbai corydoras
5 bolivian rams
6 fat otocinclus that are used to eating vegetables and commercial food rather than algae
The b-rams are what concern me in terms of compatibility. I had two amano shrimp in there, they are not there anymore, either died off or were eaten by the b-rams. I have two nerites, one 5 year old, one 3 weeks in. Ramshorns are being eaten by the cichlids too, so not sure if snails are the way to go . SAE sounded promising, but again, what about the b-rams. Or leave the algae be and dont bother?
