Questions of the day...

1. I am engaged in an ongoing battle with the infamous brush algae, that
hairy, black creature that attaches itself to plant leaf margins, wood,
and rock. ..... Any suggestions??????

Hi Ernie,
I found that siamese algae eaters are great at controlling algae on plants.
they school so get a few to put in your tank. They also play a lot in the
outflow from the filter and have other 'cute ' activities to watch. A pleck
is better at controlling algae growing on the glass of the tank, though.
