Fish Suggestion for Algae control

[Brian L]

Hi all

Do you have any suggestion for what fish to get for Algae control.

I have a 90 Gallon tank with gold fish (about 12)

It does not have a heater, but I do have a bubble and a sump
Here are the fish I did some research on:
Longfin Bristlenose Plecos
Rubber-Lipped Plecos
Black Molly
Otocinclus Cats
Plecos
Butterfly Goodeid

Thanks Brian

They all require higher temps than gold fish. What temp does your tank run at? Also if it's just on the glass your worried about any lfs sells algae scrapers or you can use an old gift card if you have one(the plastic ones) works great for my 10 g reef

Tank Temp

around 72 just checked

That's way to cold for any if them. Where is the algae?

 

[Brian L]

it is on the glass and it is brown algae

Have you looked at the scrapers? You can also cut a dowel into a stick of some sort and put a gift card in the dowel cut and it works great

Brown algae will go away on its own once the diatoms use up all of the silicates. It's very common in new setups.

I have a pleco in our pond no heater or anything some days the temp is 28 degrees Celsius and other times 15

How long do you think the Brown algae last?
