Hi,
I’m establishing a 10g, and it now has 9 white cloud minnows in it (got six more yesterday). I’ve been keeping the tank slightly warm for the white cloud minnows (74ish), because I’d like to put a school of something else in there (red phantom tetras?). It also has a couple small plants in it. Unfortunately, it’s also got tons of algae growing everywhere, and I was thinking that the 10g is too small for a pleco.
QUESTION:
I was thinking that I could
1) get a different small algae eater (any suggestions that actually eat algae?), or
2) what do people think of transfering the bristlenose from my tropical tank (77) for a couple days and then putting him back?
