Fuzz Algae Problem

[PKB]

Hi, anyone with experience in getting rid of fuzz algae. Is there any method to get rid of them or is there any fish that feeds on them?

Was starting to have this problem. Hope to get it under control before things get out of hands.

Thank you

SAE and Yamato shrimp should take care of it but if fish food is available, they will go for it first before eating the algae.

Do you think otto will solve the problem?

Oto mostly eats GDA and GSA.

Try Nerite snails. So far they seem to eat all kinds of algae in my tank

Do note that Nerite snails if you gotten the female one, it will lay a lot of eggs on the DW and tank glass which will never hatch in FW. Especially after every big feast on algae.
