	Algae eater to go with multis?
Cormerin Small Fry Posts: 11 Kudos: 124 Votes: 1 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I'm wondreing if there is an algae eater that would be approprate for a 10gal tank with 5 Neolamprologus multifasciatus. As I understand the multis would kill any ottos. Thanks Cormerin

They do a good job of most types of algae (that I've found anyway) and dont' get too big for a 10. Don't know for sure that the multis won't try and eat them though. If it's a non planted tank however (I assume so since it's multis) you might just want to go with manual removal . ^_^ *Proud member of the Committee for Sig Line Restoration*

Or perhaps a larger "pet" type snail, since the tank probably isn't planted - an apple or mystery, perhaps. Not the absolute best algae eaters but not too bad, and fun in their own right. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
