    They are native here, I've caught a few out and about. I don't think they are much good personally.
    Rosey barbs are the best hair algae eaters or maybe a large pack of Amano's.

    Rosey barbs will also shred anything furry, moss, Riccia etc. Shrimps are better for those types of plants.
    Most hair algae eating fish don't distingush between plant and algae.

    Best to look to other methods to cure your hair algae issue.
