I need algae eaters for my 10 gallon tank. I have now just 1 male betta in this tank.
ANY suggestions?
History: This tank is very well established. 0 ammonia - 0 trites - 20 trates - ph 8ish always...
I added a second filter 3 months ago. Moved it from a bright room in to my bedroom to try to reduce the algae from sunlight. Removed half the gravel twice in 3 months and washed it using water and a dechlorinator only. Scrubbed all the sides and ornaments. Even with LESS fish (there used to be a molly and 6 cherry barbs) and now using only the one new filter as of 3 weeks ago - I still get a layer of green algae.
The tank that I have with my pleco in it is lovely - no algae but the 10 gallon is far too small for that fish I know.
What would be small enough and not annoying to the betta?
Thanks!
