Hey
Well, I have a 20 gallon tank with...
•1 Dwarf Gourami
•5 male Guppies
•6 Neon Tetras
•4 Julii Cories
I have so much Brown Algae and I've tried numerous things to get rid of it. So, I am desperate because no matter what I do I can't keep it down to a minimum.
-I was thinking of possibly adding 3 Otocinclus catfish, but I'm not sure if I just don't have the room.
-So, then I thought of adding 2-3 Red Cherry Shrimp, but because of their size I was afraid the Guppies would try to eat them.
-SO, then I thought of Amano Shrimp, which would probably be a good choice, but uh... I just don't find them appealing looks-wise. I hope that doesn't sound awful, but I just don't think they look good.
Any advice or opinions on the matter?
I have plenty of swimming space in my tank, but I understand that the bioload is an important thing to keep in mind. Adding a second filter is not an option right now.
Thank you.
