striped tank

[MICEY]

2 weeks ago my tank(45 bowfront) started growing a ton of green algia , before that it was brown(seems I get more green in the fall)so I did a large wter change and added a 1 1/2 " brisslenose
he has eaten stripes in the green stuff all over the tank
next I guess he will have to connect them , boy does he eat a ton
will have to start growing some algia in a jar for him soon
I also feed my fish with kens green crumbles with has a lot of algia in it
I tried to take a picture of the stripes but there hard to see in the picture

They also eat meaty food like pellets and flakes. Also, driftwood is good for them. Another favorite is blanched veggies like zucchini.
In my younger years, I had a CAE who are algae but only on half the tank at a time. So, like one half would be green, then the other, and he would rotate. Then he got older and didn't really eat algae anymore.
