Hi all,
I'm wanting something to help me to keep algae at bay. So far I have nothing.
The tank is only 35 litres and very soft water with pH <6/6.5. It sounds like otocinclus need to be in a group which my tank is too small for and shrimp / snails will suffer with the ph. That said I have two of ten rcs still alive and they seem to be doing well, they've certainly grown a lot.
I was thinking perhaps one nerite snail may be enough? Maybe try one amano or some crystals / bee shrimp? I really don't want to change the water parameters now, the plants and fish I have seem very happy, but I would like to give something else a home if it would also be happy here.
Thoughts appreciated,
Dan
