Alan Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Do you mean the Jordanella Floridae killie fish????? If it wasn't for the Americans buddy, you'd be speaking Japanese now. So thank your allies and don't hate them. We have got some on this site, and I hope they hit you for what you deserve. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingBird Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 CAE's stop eating algae and get lazy when they mature though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zallyn Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 as much as i hate americans, 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.

Alan Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 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. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
