I am having issues with string algae tangling my live plants and fish. Does anyone know of a fish or shrimp that will eat this stuff? Only fish in the tank are some juvy free corys that are a year old.

Thanks

Hi,
Here is a site (one of many) that will help you identify the type of algae you have and offer suggestions on how to eliminate it.

Hope this helps...
