	Fish for Algae Discs?
toreador Small Fry Posts: 10 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	I have a bag of Wardley Algae Discs and would like to know what type of fish would "go" for this food, even as a treat as a break from flakes? It's main ingredient is spirulina algae. I would prefer a smaller fish, compatible with white cloud minnows... What does everyone suggest?

The only fish I keep that I haven't seen eat them are: cherry barbs bettas sparkling gourami rubbernose plec (I haven't actually seen him eat anything though ) dwarf puffers My 4" angel will eat them off the bottom. Platies, guppies, kribs, loaches, cories, otos, Endler's, black phantoms, rams. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

chocobobabe Fish Addict Posts: 530 Kudos: 214 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Nov-2002	My BN, common pleco, Dojo Loach, Yoyo Loach...and my guppies like them. Brandi P.S. If you want something small, go for the guppies, they eat anything.

chocobobabe Fish Addict Posts: 530 Kudos: 214 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Nov-2002	They do get to about 3 inches or so, depnding on the type. I have heard that Endler's livebarers are a little smaller. Or as someone may have mentioned, cories stay quite little Let us know what you decide! Brandi
