When one of my tanks had Black Hair Algae, I found live bearers such

keep the new growth under control because I added 9 Siamese Algae
Eaters, but the live bearers definitely were eating algae and they are
among the first to go after algae pellets.


My dwarf pencilfish will nip at new algae growth...
