Howdy all.......
I have a 29 gallon tank, 2 damsels and one small trigger. they seem happy. algae grows everywhere, especially on the sandy bottom, to the point where by time I do a water change (once a week) the tank looks like i decorated it for St. Patricks day!
Ammonia is fine, nitrates/nitrites are admittedly a bit high. feedings are minimal. temp is around 77F. Tank has been up and running for about 2 months.
what kinda fish can i get to eat my algae? i bought snails and the trigger ate them. from what im reading Tangs are good but my tank is too small for them. any suggestions? i cant afford to upgrade the tank size right now but i really dig the hobby (except for the algae, of course ). i'd hate to give it up, or worse, do something to harm the fish.
thanks...
