hello
I wanted to ask something.
When i was doing my matanace with my aquarium i where the water comes back to the tank, juring a log period of time a large amount of algea grew there and i was wondering if that was good if i cleared it. When i started to clean and a lot of these little creatures came out. I read in the posts before that they are a good thing to the tank. i didnt like the look of the algea and i cleared it. I wanted to know if that was smart of me because that was were all the critters stayed.
Thank you

the critters will find other places in the tank with the algae gone. they feed on the algae and and reproduce better in it hense the reasoning behind fuges.
