planted tank

killieskid · Jun 12, 2007

I just started my first planted tank, so far it looks real good. I have two S.A.E.'s and two red alge eaters and a breeding pair of Top Goldenminnow Killies in the tank, thats all I plan to have in there. Is there anything I should be on the look out for?

What are these two red algae eaters? May I see a pic of them?

Red Algae eaters

I dont think my first reply came through so here it is again,the red alae eaters look a lot like the S.A.E.'s but quite a bit smaller and they have some spotting too

that's what my otos look like when I'm drunk...

Yea, those do look a lot like otos, and I've never heard of a "red algae eater." http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_oto.php

They are the sultans of eating algae.

Did you read the link I posted? They like brown diatom algae best, but will eat other soft green algae. They cannot eat green spot algae, because it is too hard for their mouths to remove from it whatever it is growing on.
