    Are Amano Shrimp an option for you? I run amanos and otos in all my tanks for algae control. 

    This image & caption is from tropica, showing how effective amano shrimp are at eating algae.

    The right aquarium - The right plants - The right fish

     

    I didn't know if they'd get eaten.  It would be an expensive treat if they do! 😉 

  2. After moderately planting my 37 gallon tank, I discovered I was seeing more and more bladder snails.  Two Assassin snails later, and I have no bladder snail issues.  However, I am seeing more brown algae diatoms.  I have a clown pleco in the tank, but he refuses to emerge from under the sponge filter or one of my pieces of driftwood, so he's no help.  I don't want to get other snails, since I figure the assassins will make quick work of them.  I'm thinking my two options are Siamese Algae Eaters or a Bristlenose Pleco.  I would love thoughts and opinions, or even if anyone has any other ideas!  As a reminder, so far all of my fish, except for the school of cories, have an orange and black color scheme.  If it makes a difference, the vast majority of the brown algae has populated my Windelov Java Fern, which sits nearly under my filter return.  Thanks in advance!

  3. I am thinking that my next order from ACO will be a hatchery so I can start giving BBS more frequently.  My LFS sells small containers of Brine shrimp live, and they are much bigger than what I'm seeing on YouTube.  Will the shrimp grow much after they hatch?  What would you feed them?  Or are these different animals that are bigger?  I don't have fry at this point, but I do have livebearers and angelfish.  Also, when I put the Brine Shrimp from my lfs in the tank, even my assassin snails got in on the action!  I would love to be able to give them that treat, but don't want to get the wrong stuff!

  4. Understanding her aversion to more snails, I put two assassins into my 27, which I did not think had that many bladder snails, and there are now at least 7 shells on the floor of the aquarium these fools have eaten.  My bigger concern now is what I do once they've worked their way through the snail population?
