I finally got some real Otos at the local fish store, having finally figured out the difference between chinese algae eater and true SAE. (I'm hoping they can help with some beard algae in the tank)
I have a bit of that really tough green algae on the glass...the kind that feels rough to the touch like sandpaper, and you really have to muscle through it with credit card or scraper to remove it.
Can otos remove this kind of algae or should I assume I will have to keep on scraping? It is tough to get the areas near the silicone seams and I am always afraid I will slash the seal and start a leaking tank.
