Hello,

I have a 30g set up that is my first planted tank. It's been up & running for about 3 months now & has just started to get green algea on the rocks & slate.

My only fish are guppies (not planning to keep them long term it was just that I had loads in my 125g & wanted to get the tank up & cycled quickly).

Can anyone reccomend something that would eat the algea but not the plants? I put some plants in my bigger tank & the pleccos gobbled them up really quickly.

I also have some snails in the tank & wouldn't mind a snail eater but I'm not that fussed.

Any idea would be fab - thank you.

What type of plecs have you tried? I've always kept BNs, who do a great job with algae and IMO never bother the plants.

The other options are otos. A bit more sensitive and they like to be kept in groups.
