Stubborn algae

[Mazain]

From my fish keeping experience research has widen my knowledge and has been a guidance in making the right choices. I don't see anything wrong in choosing fish to solve algae problems.

I have several of them but I think they're on strike

Are you sure they are the genuine article? There are several imposters who do a less than effective job. Does the primary black stripe continue onto the caudal? If so, they are the real deal. (As long as there's no other color in the fins, such as a black margin in the dorsal. That's the similar Flying Fox.)

I agree that it isn't wise to buy fish to solve algae problems, rather, fix the imbalance in the tank start by cutting back on the length of time you have the lights on for. My lights are running on a lower percentage from 2 until 9pm with a tank full of live plants

My lights are on for 8 hours only they used to be 11 hours at the first then 9 hours n nowv8 hours but I still get algae. Unknowingly I was over feeding then after people pointed out to me I started feeding em every other day but I still get algae

Can you control the intensity of the light ?

Can you control the intensity of the light ?

Sadly no, it has only one switch n I can't control how bright the light should be
