Reply With Quoteto me, those expensive plecos and my chinese algae eater did a great job for me
Besides SAE, malayan and yamato, are there any more effective algae eating fishes?
I have 2 SAEs in my tank and they were rather effective at first, but them seemed to have become lazy and rather wait for fish food then hunt for alage. []

chinese algae eater does a better job than SAE>sucks
From my Xperience SAE onli lay on those big leaves and once i start feedin my darlings,they just join in.After the meal they just lay on the bottom busy stuffing those xccess flakes,in end they refuse to clean algae.
The CAE they do eat those flake and xccess food but later they start working again cleanin the algae.
my golden algae eaters quite effective (yellow sucker fish)
i always fighting algae but still got more
yeah...i got one lemon sucker also...quite hardworking.hehe...
My otos did a great job on the glass... especially diatoms (brown algae).
sae are effective only if they are starved.
once they have tasted commercial fish food, they are pratically useless for algae control.
you can try feeding other fishes with smaller amounts of fish food. add more when the food is consumed. this should minimise fish food being 'snatched' by sae.
