algae eater and angles

11-15-2008, 11:25 PM

Whats a good algae eater that I can use in an angle tank?
I see a lot of chines algae eaters, but read somewhere there not good for large (angles & discus) fish as they can suck on them.
How about the golden algae eaters?

You want a bristlenose pleco. They stay small and are not aggressive towards angels or discus.

I agree with brownsnoutuk.

Golden Algae Eater is a color variant of Chinese Algae Eater anyhow...

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

There are a couple of people that have them for sale in the fish market.

There will also be plenty at the auction today, I know I'm bringing some.
