Not once it gets really hard. You shouldn't buy fish to cure a problem in your tank, you need to get to the cause of it if you want it to stop.

GDA is too much light.

I grew it on purpose cause I thought they eat it. I did scrap off a bit and it came off really easy. It's not even green it's brown.

They can survive on the biofilm on all surfaces, plants, equipment and hardscape in the aquarium. I do not believe they need algae grown for them
