what kind of algae is it? fish will only eat certain types of algae and not touch others. and in a 10 gallon only 1 type of algae eating fish will fit, the otocinclus, and they will only eat a few types of algae, not all. shrimp will also eat certain types of algae and are much better algae eaters (amano or red cherry shrimp are best).





ID the algae then look at the root cause rather than just treating the symptom. if you have cyanobacteria for example, nothing will eat it.
