Mine doesn't eat algae sheets either. Just picks at the rocks, powerheads and glass. But he's fat so I guess he's finding good stuff to eat.

They are natural grazers, and should be in a 55 gal. minimum.

IMO anything 30g or over is fine

Right, but they list the minimum tank size for the juvenile fish that they ship. The sizes listed are not the minimum for the fish to thrive and, in this case, be able to find natural food.

That is one thing that people don't realize.

I had a full grown adult male in a 26g and he has been fine for over two years now. Really you just need to make sure that they have ample algal growth to graze on. Brad, have you ever tried feeding him mysis or blood worms? Just a suggestion.

if there is plenty of algae growth and the fish isn't skinny, than i wouldn't add seaweed. yes it can increase nitrates if you let it rot. don't leave the stuff in the clip for more than half a day.
