 Need some fish to eat hair algae in a nano Something small that does the job well. I read about the Rainsford`s and the Hector's gobies as being good candidates but waiting for other options and opinions.

| Re: Need some fish to eat hair algae in a nano Unless you are dead set on it being fish, may I recommend snails? The entire back wall of my 40g breeder and many of my rocks were covered in hair algae. I bought 20 astrea snails and in 2-3 weeks all the algae was gone! I would recommend these to anyone looking to take care of hair algae. |

| Re: Need some fish to eat hair algae in a nano Hi, I just had my LFS buddy over for a consultation on my tanks and while we were looking at my 14 gal. Biocube I showed him some Hair that sprung up when the sun went lower in its' orbit and was coming in the window across from the tank. He told me small Urchins will animate the stuff. I inquired " well then why doesn't anyone in LFS or forums tell you that?" He said in larger tanks and even smaller ones they can push over frags and become a pest. I have good size rock with my corals on so I am going to try a couple.
