HomerJay Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I am getting a lot of algae on my live plants. What can I do to prevent this? I bought a couple of algae eaters and they seem to do a great job on the rest of the tank but are not touching the plants. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 would agree with @lefty oI find the best algae eaters are the invertibrates like the amano shrimp or snails. They eat off the algae for you and for the most part you don't usaully need to feed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
