How do I get rid of hair algae in a planted freshwater aquarium?
http://fins.actwin.com/mirror/algae.html#algae-eaters The above article was written by George Booth, and he’s a very knowledgeable source for planted tanks. I always had trouble finding the Siamese Algae Eaters, but Plecos and black mollies are easy to find. The page above also says that it’s reasonably easy to remove hair algae manually to help the fish out.
