Should I get an alge eater i have 2 zebra danios, 2 glofish, and 4 cherry barbs. Also i have an alge scrumber to clean off the alge.

Thanks

griffin

do you need an algae eater? or would you prefer to have one? are you having major problems with algae?

I am getting algae every few days and then i clean it off so i probably don't need an algae eater

griffin

looks like you decided that one yourself

Cody

really with that size tank the alge scraper inst to big of a chour...but they do add a little somthing to the tank with that size i would look into geting a otto,... alge eaters wont eliminate the need to clean some off but they do help and there fun to have...make sure what ever you get wont out grow your tank

Would their be enough room in my tank for an otto

Cody

yes they say one inch per galllon not lets say you have 10 or so inchs give or take...you might lose one here and there but your much better off going a 2 or 3 inchs over then you are with a pleco which would pretty much double that rule...ill double check everything....but on thise site you can find solid info on most of the common veritys you see at a LFS and they keep adding

Cody

it would be perfect you tank would be right at 12 total inch's..so hey go for it ..your choice though...good lucky have fun .....im not the best at this stuff but i have picked up alot of stuff in my first year of fish keeping i wish i would have joined the forum sooner...but this is the site i have been using since day one...and i love it
