Green algae is enthusiastically eaten by shrimp species, Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish (Otocinclus sp.) and a large number of Plecs making the mainstay of many of these fish’s diets for the vegetable content alone.
I got 3 angelfish for my 18 gallon fish tank, they are all about 1 inch in size.
I have 2 rams, 3 penguin tetras, 1 dwarf suckermouth, 5 neons, and I am planning to get guppies too!
