I beg to differ, I think Crossocheilus is *highly* overrated. Apparently
Florida Flagfish are best for this kind of algae. Gouramis also like to pick
at it but they will also destroy your plants!

Its better to deal with the root cause than treat the symptoms.

Hi Des

Its BBA or black brush algae. Shes a tenacious bitch
You have this because either:
A) You are using too much light and no co2.
B) You do not have your co2 high enough.

or...
C) You need a siamese algae eater (Crossocheilus siamensis)
http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/cyprinid.html They actually eat the
stuff. Even better, I've always found them to be peaceful community
fish that are fun to watch.
