[thetmaxx]

Anyone have any idea what this is, It's like a grey furry algae that is begining to attach toe verything, also how to remove it. I dont want to kill my plants, and I have algae eaters, but they must not eat this kind...

I dont want it to ruin my new decoration.... I also have 5 plants, and dont want to kill them, LOL

Here is an article on algae identification: http://www.plantgeek.net/article_viewer.php?id=9
One of the best algae eaters is the siamese, but it can be difficult to find true sae and not flying foxes. http://www.thekrib.com/Fish/Algae-Eaters/
Two other options are Florida flag fish and Ameca splendens (butterfly goodied) but they can be hard to find and can be more aggressive.

The second articles says they thrive in schools or in pairs. Three should do fine together. Just make sure you get true sae. Flying foxes will pick on all your fish, eat all the food and won't touch the algae.
