smilie_flagge13.gifaction-smiley-065.gif I have found the Flag fish to be very helpful in irradicating a bloom of blackbeard algae that developed in a 75 gallon planted tank I keep. It was starting to form on the driftwood and plants, soon after I added 6 small flag fish it began to lessen and has to date almost entirely disappeared.

Thanks for that Z.

Now I know what fish you are talking about, and I thought it may have been that one.

LB has got Aquidens curviceps, but then there is still the question as to what the original writer, Dally meant.

Maybe by reading Z's link, you can confirm the fish you have and also get some valuable information on the same.
