Hello fish keepers, I was wondering if a SAE can eat brown algae, and what algae do they eat?

I think I'll just stick to the 2 SAE, a larger tetra group, and the blue gularis, thanks for the advice After some research I found a tetra that looks nice, do you think emperor tetra will work or will it get eaten

Yea killifish stays at the very top of the tank most of the time, I was thinking July cory Dora's, will they be good?

The blue gularis is around 3 inches right now, might get 2 SAE now and ditch the corys.. thanks for the advice ! Will white skirt tetras work?

Hello! I am currently re stocking my 20 gallon long in order to experience more in this hobby, so I will be rehoming my tiger barbs and dwarf gourami, however I also have a blur gularis that I do not want to rehome because of how beautiful it is and because of its personality, the problem is...

I think SAE is in my algae eater list now, Thanks for the help

I dont have a phosphate or silica test kit, so I might get one to see my status, thanks for the help

Everytime I test nitrates they seem to be 0, but they could be swinging up and back down when I'm not testing... nitrate levels arent harmful because the fish are fine, the algae grown is brown spot algae and green spot algae, the plants have brown spot, the filter and gravel has black beard...

Hello! Over the past few weeks, I have noticed a pattern in my tank, after I do a water change every thing looks clean and nice! But after a week or 2 (I sometimes do water changes every two - three weeks so plants can consume something) my tank gets infested with algae, the walls, the gravel...

Alright, wouldn't liquid fertilizers make algae grow? Last time I did it it took a couple days for the algae to bloom, the plants are feeding in the water column.

Thanks, I cant afford a co2 system right now, but how can I increase the nitrates to the level my plants need?

I was thinking on getting nerite snails, do you think they can clean the algae off of plant leaves, also how can I get rid of their eggs?

They lay down eggs however, so I dont wanna create more mess so any options that dont involve animals please?

Tank is cycled with freshwater bacteria, has been set for about a year by now Will the algae start going away if I put less light hours? Or will I have to do something else?

My light is on for about 13 hours, tank is 20 long, ph is about 7.5 to 8, and the tank is 0,0,0 most the time

I would do a species planted tank of 7 or 8 rasboras

Welcome to Fish Lore! What filter are you using, is the tank planted, is it a standard 10 gallon, and what type of rasbora are you talking about? Their might be room for another fish but probably not a third fish depending on the species of rasboras, I would just get more rasboras depending on...
