I have a 10 gal, sufficient filtration, well cycled by now after 5 months stocked with 10-15(#'s vary week to week) regular old guppies and 1 CAE.
they all seem very happy and healthy.
the tank receives no direct sunlight and very little filtered natural light, I have no lamp on the tank hood. i have noticed that i have had very little algae growth, only a little brown algae on top of one of my fake anachrist.
My CAE does eat some of the flake food that falls to the bottom but has never shown any interest in algae wafers until today, i haven;t put one in for a couple months. I put in a half of one today and he is munchin on it and sitting on top to chase away the guppies who would devour it!
here is my Q?
should I worry that the CAE is not getting enough algae in his diet and continue to give him wafers about every month and half to two months?
does he need more?
do I need more NATURAL SUNLIGHT to get more algae?
I have to admit that it is real nice having the tank look so clean and clear all the time.
Sorry to be so long winded and Thank You-
Mike
