Thanks I'll try it

No prob
You have any algae eaters?

 

[paytertot]

I have one golden algae eater, used to have two. I have to be careful with them because they like to attach to my rope fish, which is not ok lol. I need some really non-aggressive ones. Ideas?

Yeah those guys can get aggressive
I have 4 SAE they do a really good job
I haven't tried ottos but I have seen them in Discus tanks
I really like how they look
BNP do an awesome job with algae
& try amano shrimp as well

I've tried shrimp a couple times and didn't do too well, but I'll definitely look into those other guys. I'm not quite as worried about my discus because they're all pretty big and I've never seen my AEs messing with them.

I'll post some pics of my bnp
They are juvies but very active
I'm going to add the amanos as soon as I take the albino bichirs out
They are super tiny compared to my other bichirs & I'm afraid they'd get eaten :/
That's why they're in this tank
