S this a good idea, or will they become a late night snack? I have them in my betta tank, and they do a great job with the algae.
Crawdaddy said:Africans, lol. I know that covers a lot of fish. 2 yellow labs, 2 jewels, 1 blue acai, 1ob zebra, 2 juvie zebra obliquidens, 3 juvie Redfin Borleyi, and 3 juvie phenochilas. The juvies are all around 1-1.5 inches. Also there is 1 African feather fin cat, 1 CAE, 1 high fin leopard Pleco.
Crawdaddy said:Good to know. I have a line of algae along the sand line, and my pleco's don't seem to be interested in cleaning it. They latch on everywhere else, but not there, and I'm worried that be trying to scrub it, I might scratch the glass.
dmk6 said:Try anubius attached to a rock or driftwood. It might out compete the algae for nutrients and mbuna don't like the taste. so a bite then they leave it alone. It will help with nitrates also, as most mbuna tanks are overstocked (a. because they are the coolest fish on the planet and b. because this helps with aggression.).
Crawdaddy said:What are the special needs for this. The one time I tried real plants it was a disaster, so I'm not set up with CO2 or special substrate. I'm running LED lights.
