A little algae is normal and can be kept under control with a kitchen scrubber kept for that purpose alone. Cleaning by hand will do a better job than getting a fish to do it. But if you have lots of algae then it is due to the other variables mentioned above. hth meh shrug housework, there is no way around it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~
