Howdy Steve,

That's a good question about the Siamese algae eaters..Upon closer inspection,
I've noticed that maybe they may not be the best choice after all because
despite being good algae eaters, they can tend to get testy with tank mates and
that's not a good thing. Also, Have you checked your phosphate levels? They can
play a HUGE factor. [The Krib] Aquatic Plants (i don't know if that link works)
This website has several articles on managing different types of algae and was
where I initially got the previous information. Good luck

Hi Gil,

Thanks for the reply. Ive stripped down my ornaments etc in the tank
once already, but the algae came back with vengence and now seems to
be thicker than ever - also it only seemd to take a couple of weeks to
come back so I dont fancy having to clean everything every fortnight!

Any idea why im getting this algae?

About these siamese fish you mentioned. If I get some, Is there
anything I need to now about keeping them? (numbers etc and other
special points)

All the best

Steve Saunders
