Flying Foxes and hair algae

[DarkApostle]

Hi folks,

Hoping someone can give me some pointers.
The tank's doing great (my Bolivians are breeding machines), but hair algae has slowly been growing on the driftwoon and plants. I've been removing it by hand, but a few weeks ago got three Siamese Flying Foxes to eat some of it.

The thing is, they dont touch the stuff! Any idea why they might not go fo it?

Thanks!

maybe they just dont like it. maybe try some otto cats or a pleco. what size tank?

Either you bought false simease algae eaters or they are eating the fodd you feed to the bolivians. They won't eat the algae if there are other food sources.
