I have a lot of soft algae in my tank and have had problems with green water in the past, that seem to be comming back (water is like 5% greenish).
I was looking at my LFS for an algae eater, and since they did not have SAE's, my preference was to get a Bristlenose Pleco.
However, I am facinated by the Whiptail (twig) Catfish's appearence and since they are on sale at my LFS, I was wondering if they'd make good algae eaters. I also have fry in my tanks and I know that they wont harm fry so thats another bonus.
Any experience/info on them?
