non-wild algae eaters

[Aussie_hippie_2]

I'd love to get some ottos as I'm having an algae problem right now, however I'm against wild-caught fish. Is there anything that is similar but not wild caught, and would fit in my 29?

I know there actually has been some success breedint otocinclus in captivity..tho I don't know how available they are.

I have albino bn's that were tank bred.

Most bristlenose pleco are captive bred. It's pretty easy to do in your home tank, so perhaps a single bn? Just make sure to provide a little driftwood, and algae wafers or veggies.

snails are pretty good algea eaters. you could always get one of those.

if you want a tank bred algea eater, a BN pleco is the way to go.

You don't think I'd be OS with my current inhabitants if I got a BN? I could move the cories if I need to.

all of your neons are going to be gone by the time your BN would be big enough to OS the tank (if they were still there). but you know the angel is worth it

Yeah, they're actually holding on really well, they're population has only been halved LOL. You're right, the angel is worth it .

Cheers.
