I have a small 5 gallon planted aquarium at work. It has a blacked out back but it is near a window. Normally, I have the blinds closed all day to prevent excessive sunlight but I am still having an issue with the algae that grows on the side of the glass.
Before I added my puffers, I had a fairly large snail population and as a result I had no algae at all. Now that the puffers have eaten all my snails I have patches of algae on the glass, its it also completely covering the leaves of my Anubis.
I currently have 1 Anubis, 1 piece of driftwood with java moss. Two strands of anacharis. three bunches of valsneria, and four short leafy plants that i forgot the name of.
Is there any sort of algae eating fish or critter that I can add that the dwarf puffers will not kill?
