What's eating the algae?

[Laurie]

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with something eating the algae! LOL! I'm just wondering because I had a small outbreak of some algae on the gravel. I noticed the other day there were tails of it missing on some of the larger rocks. Today, it's almost gone. I only have rainbowfish and one cory in the tank. Could it be snails?

I've attached a photo of the rocks/algae. Don't mind Marcus. He's a nosy boy.

Trails, not tails. Doh!

It could be either of them. But most likely the cory

I saw a Melanoides tuberculatus a few months back but I don't know if they'd survive a complete rescaping/cleaning of the gravel. It probably is the cory because that little bugger is growing!

Cories don't really eat algae. It is probably snails.

Cories don't really eat algae. It is probably snails.

I agree...the snails
