Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi. I have a 45 gallon tank with mollies, platies and sword tails (around 15 of these altogether) plus 2 iridescent sharks. It's a planted tank with amazon and giant hygro. I also had a betta but it died recently (found it stuck to the filter - an emperor 400 marineland with biowheel). I was devastated for a few days. Now I plant to get a new fish.
My tank faces the balcony on one side, and used to get brilliant sunshine there in summer. Recently I noticed the gravel around that are covered with some brown stuff which was not fish waste materials or food. i can only assume its brown algae.
Now I have decided to combine two problems into one. Can anyone suggest to me a fish that is different from the livebearers (fun to look at, different) as well as brown algae eater?
Note if this is not possible, can anyone please suggest to me an exotic looking fish (nothing to expensive though :-( ) to place with my live bearers, and an efficient algae eater?
Thanks for any suggestions, - peace out.
