why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

Those shrimps are Glass/Ghost shrimp. They are scavenger and at times prey on fish they can catch. They do not eat algae. They will hunt down and attack the other shrimp species.

Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
glass shrimps will also attack weak fishes.

ok thanx. i juz bought 3 SAE.. hope they will clean up the algea in a few days time.. thanx guys....
also attack sleeping fishes. If they can't get them low to ground, they will climb up a 'tree' and leap from there to catch fishes that sleep in the 'mid-air'
What algae? Each of the different algae crew eat different algae. Besides SAEs are smart... if they know the tank gets a regular feeding, they will wait for fish food.----------------

Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
erm.... its those brown stains appearing on my plants and glass panels... this onli happne after my rainbow shark die.
A couple of otocinclus or commonly know as "xiao jing ling" will solve your brown algae problem. SAE don't really touch brown algae.
Cheers,

this site has a pretty good gallery clickable on the top right. look under catfish.
There is also a lot of information in the Aquatic FAQ and older threads on the forums..... please have a look through to learn more about the hobby...... not all regulars are able or willing to answer every question in detail, so if you can do some reading up and ask questions that clarify what you are learning, it would yield more fruitful reponses. Thank you.
