Aquarium Advice Newbie
Looking for some advice. I have a brackish tank (125 g) that I built 2 years ago. I hand laid individual pieces of slate (using aquarium silicone) to the entire back glass to create a 3D background. I really love the look but am having a problem with algae growth on the rock wall. I had a school of sailfin mollies that did a great job of keeping the algae to a minimum, until my black-tip sharks got big enough to eat even the full grown males. I finally got rid of the black-tips, but now the 3 target fish have started attacking and killing the mollies. So my question is what other algae eaters can I keep in a brackish tank (salinity .012)? I found a website where a guy listed several plecos that he kept in his brackish tank, but cannot find anything else that confirms that this is ok for the plecos. Would love to hear from anyone that has had success with any "larger" algae eaters in brackish.
Tankmates:
2- 10+inch silver scats, 4- mono arg, 2- mono sebae, 1- four eyes, 3- target fish, 2- figure eight puffers, 1- archer
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
