Alge Away Mixes

[freshwaterfishlover]

I was looking at a Aquarium Catalog and I saw advertised a liquid you put monthly in your tank and it gets rid of your Alge.

Has anyone use this kind of stuff? Do you recomand it? Does it Work? ETC

[cocoa_pleco]

I used that along time ago. It worked fairly well. I just use plecos now because theyre funner and are cheaper.

[jeffs99dime]

that's not really resolving the problem though. i don't use chemicals

[Incredulous_Ed]

The best thing you can do is get a buch of fast growing aquarium plants and plant them around. They will use all the nutrients so algae won't get any

I am talking about my 29Gallon. only real plants are 3 Anachoris plants and 1 Medium Sword plant. Can't put much real plants in it since all the fish eat them in a week or destroy them.

a pleco maybe?

[freshwaterfishlover]

Ya maybe a Pleco, but that tank is already maxed out. Only thing I can think of is a snail.

So what do you think about putting a Snail?

[Nautilus29]

get an oto cat they stay small 1.5inches and I put one that was about 3/4" in my 10g which was full of algae and he took it all out after 2 days!! He is now in my 55g taking out the algae in there.

that, or one of those huge african snails. I only paid 20$ for mine

[freshwaterfishlover]

How about a mystery snjail $1.99. The same one I have in my 20 gallon.

i had one- he'll do the job too. Maybe get 3.
