IME the Amanos do a good job of cleaning up algae. 2-3 of them will do a nice job cleaning things up. They also don't interbreed with CRS (I have a tank with, both for ~1 yr and have not seen hybrids.

Today I finally got Cherry Shrimp for the first time. I ordered 6 little Red Cherries for my 2.5 gallon tank. I do plan o breed these and put them in another tank when ready. But I wanted to know if RCS eat Hair Algae, And Black Bearded Algae?
My BBA is starting to get all over my tank. It is a iwagami and is coming out really nicely and I don't want it to be ruined.
Also I am now thinking of ordering 1 or 2 Small Amano Shrimp. Do these eat BBA and Hair Algea?
Also I heard about this SAE and that they eat BBA, what does this stand for?
Thanks for the help guys.![]()
