My SAE's made good work of the BBA when I had it. Could give these a try.

 

[AdAndrews]

how big do they get? could i squeeze one in a 35litre :?

 

[AdAndrews]

will amano shrimp?

 

[a1Matt]

35 litre is too small IMO for an SAE, which is a shame as they are the only thing I have found that eat BBA.
Amanos will not touch it IME.

If you kill it with liquid carbon then Oto's love dead BBA.

 

[AdAndrews]

yea, tis a shame

how about hair algae, will amano's go for that?

 

[Shadow]

Yes Amano shrimps will go for green hair algae, you must starve them though
