As people have said above, smaller nano fish especially herbivores would be ideal. I think otocinclus and various snails would be the best. Micro rasboras, smaller tetras, and endlers may also work, but they will eat some babies.
More frequent water changes to remove excess nutrients could help. Do you know your water parameters? Also, do you know what kind of algae it might be?
These are all cool ideas, but I'm not sure if I want another schooling fish as of now. The clown killifish sound really cool as well.
I think I might go with a pea puffer or clown killifish and maybe a planted terrarium with some native arthropods.
Thanks for the ideas, everyone!
Good ideas! I'll think about those. Idk where to get pygmy sunfish though.
I'm not too interested in breeding fish, especially since most of my tanks are fully stocked anyways. My tanks' stocking lists are in my aquarium details. Thanks for the idea!
I thought about that too, I forgot to mention that I already have a 5g with cherries though. Maybe I'll get a different type of shrimp.
I've always been kind of interested in pea puffer.s I have a tub full of snails to feed them too. If I did only pea puffers in the 5g how many could I have in it?
As the title says I have two 5g aquariums, both of which have functioning hoods/lights. I don't really want to get more bettas, cherry shrimp or endlers though. Any ideas on what I could use the tanks for?
I personally don't think you're overstocked at all. You could add a few more cherry barbs and cories if you wanted.
Maybe for a centerpiece, you could try a trio of honey gouramis.
