Hi all. I've got a small 13 ltr betta cube with a single male betta in it and he absolutely loves it. It's been running for about 5 weeks now all water levels are spot on and water is crystal clear the only problem is it's started to get hair algae on the glass (plastic) and on the plants. Is there a small fish that could go in to clean up ? I have 8 ottos in my main tank which do a great job of cleaning but I'm not sure if they eat hair algae.
Or could this just be an issue with the light being to bright, its a 32 Led dimmable up and over light which in the day is on full and then turned down later on then off at night. The algae does only seem to be on the leaves the light directly hits and mainly the front of the tank.
I think I'm answering my own question here. ( turn the bloody light down )
 
i got lots of hair algae in my tank the fish that eat mine are
angelfish
and mollies which might be able to go in your tank
