After dealing with him being an absolute jerk to all fish in my smaller tank, and ripping all the leaves off my moneywort, he's become a model citizen in my 65g. Turns out he was eating the green algae off of the moneywort, and the smaller tank didn't have the nutrients necessary to withstand his nipping.

I've even caught him eating whatever this white algae is on all of my plants. My lilies were covered in it, now they're pristine! Also, I just now caught him eating the diatoms off my amazon sword leaves - I thought they were browning! Phew! He's been going after them for the last ten minutes!

Now if he could get to work on the rest of my plants suffering from the white algae...

I totally didn't expect him to be an algae grazer.
