The common catfish that is known as an algae eater is the Pleco. Adding a Pleco catfish to your fish tank could result in the algae being decreased, but more poop being added to your fish tank. Most people are unaware of how much these catfish poop and it can completely take over your fish tank within a couple days.

I appreciate that you lead by stating that algae is actually a good thing and isn't an inherently bad to have in an aquarium

I trust a man with a lot of fish tanks in his house. Thank you for this! I am a first time fish keeper (kinda by accident), and I have been trying to figure out why my tank grows so much algae. I am going to raise up my lighting as best I can. It comforts me what you said about algae meaning a tank is doing pretty okay. Here I have been thinking I'm just terrible at keeping fish. All my fish, shrimp, and snails are still alive, so that must mean I'm doing something right. have a pleco but not really for its cleaning capabilities. It hangs out with the corydorya, which has possibly confused it for one of its own kind. They play with each other every day.

Kind of misleading title, becase these tips are not for removing algae. Those tips won't do anything for someone that already have a diatom bloom or BBA spread all over their anubias.

As a 1st timer in the hobby, I built a successful 100 gallon CO2 Planted tank with the help and guidance of watching this Dude channel.... He definitely knows what he's talking about.

Great info, thank you. Your space is Devine!

This video was very informative, I have an aquarium that seems to be going crazy with algae lately and I wasn't sure what was going on. But after recently moving to a new house my aquarium has been getting tons more attention recently being in our main living room, and I think the light has been on for much longer intervals then when it was in our old house. So I will be limiting the lighting more in hopes things clear up more. 😎

Finally a helpful to the point video. Thanks!

Wonderful information and you speak the truth! I use LED bar lights that are specialized for use in a hydroponics system (I figure if its good enough the plants I eat, its good enough for my fish and their plants). Well, I put the light up quickly without much care for how it is mounted for the time being as I am planning out my new rack arrangement. One side of the light is about 3" above the tank and the other side is closer to 6" above. The lower side has a film of algea on the side of the tank and the higher side is perfectly clear. A great accidental experiment.

I have a small cube curved front tank with 5 glow light danios in it, its a lovely tank but algae is a struggle at the moment, I'm planning to upgrade soon but this has helped me, thank you!

Thank you I’m going try your methods !

Excellent video. I learned alot.

Thank you for the advice my friend, I’m going to invest in some good lights and work in keeping them 6” above the tank, take care 👍✌️

interesting take on the cheaper lights that cause Algae.. true they do not have the complete usable light spectrum and the plants end up not absorbing the nutrients. hence the algae.
