The rave of SAE's, just made me had to get one! Then, finally my LFS had some, and I bought some and took them home into my 15G. The problems with algae would be somewhat solved, but the solution shouldn't be these fish, its what has to be done with the nutrients in the water column and how the plants compete them VS the algae. Well, for a month I had obseved these cool fish, don't get me wrong, but I have made a wrong idea about these SAE's. They don't eat algae, they ate my plants. Even though they are good cleaners for other people, they just don't work in my tank. And don't say I overfeed my fish and feed them also. Actually I starve them to eat algae, but they ate my plants. I have ID them and got alot of info of what true SAE's are, and they are genuine SAE's, but not the type to eat algae in my tank. IMHO, they suck at their job, no offense, just had to vent. Now, back to the drawing board. And they are damn smart in not being caught. Thanks for understanding.
