    Hi all,

    Can anyone advise if cherry shrimps will eat away those green hairy algae?
    I would like to exchange 5 or 6 Celestial Pearl Danios/Microrasbora Galaxy for 3 Otos. If interested, please SMS me at 82186199

    no, they wont
    that's my experience. You need water change every 2-3 days, and take those algae by hands... after weeks, you will see it disappear, but you should maintain your tank every weeks to avoid the algae come back.
    Beautiful, natural landscape is connected to spirits of human beings.

    Agreed 100%, based on personal experience.
    Treat it early, they'll dominate your plants. Cleaning the glass will be the easiest of parts.

    They don't. You may want to keep some yamatos to keep control the growth but if it has infested quite abit.. manual removal and wc is the way to go.
