Howdy everyone,
I am relatively new to fish and aquariums (about 5 months) and am definately still learning.
I started with a 10 gallon tank and currently have 2 swordtails, 2 guppies, 1 chinese algae eater, and 1 dwarf frog. I recently purchased a 6 gallon tank to use as a breeding tank (after some surprise babies ). I have had the tank setup for about 3 weeks and have had the babies in there for almost 2 weeks (they're doing great).
I am considering adding a chinese algae eater to the breeding tank because I am already getting quite a bit of algae on the tank walls. The chinese algae eater I have in the 10 gallon tank does a great job of keeping things clean and gets along with everyone, so I think one would do good in the new tank. My question is if there are any possible negative aspects to this. I'm not sure if this will have a bad effect on the babies. There are currently 9 baby swordtails in the tank and are a bit over a month old and are big enough to not be eaten
Thanks for any advice.
