    You could do experiment like leaving a really small aquarium mossy, and let each of them clean, which took the least and the most time to clean.

    this is probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on algae eaters, even though I don’t understand liters xD I’m currently searching for an algae eater to go in my 3.5 gallon with my betta cause there’s a bunch of brown algae growing in there. if I can’t find a suitable tankmate I may get in there myself and clean it out a second time. absolutely adored the theme song for this channel and all the information put here in the little tidbits for each critter. keep up the amazing work!

    Nerite snails are amazing. As you said shrimps tend not to touch the glass. Though the babies love eating the biofilm so of wanting to breed shrimp it's best to leave some algae for food

    Nice video, I use Malaysian Snails and Ramshorn Snails to keep my tanks clean. They are not only good for cleaning the algae up but also eat up any excess food so the shrimp don't over-feed.

    I really like MTS. They do a great job at disturbing the substrate to stop detritus and toxic gasses building up. They will clean the glass and plants at night when they come out. Although they breed easily, if your tank gets over populated it's because you're overfeeding them or the fish, and they are eating the leftovers.

    For we brain impaired Americans it would be great if you gave the volume measurements in gallons as well as liters. I do okay with length of centimeters to inches but volume is much harder, especially for us old timers! I hear 10 liters and my brain thinks ---, hear 6-7 liters and my brain thinks ---. It simply doesn’t compute!
    I loved the video! I bought my first shrimp two weeks ago for an outside 55 gallon tank that is covered in algae. I was assured that they would live outside in our temperatures. I hope they are living their best lives eating algae because there is a lot in there!

    🌺Love your videos! Once I was planning to purchase some Amano shrimps, but salesperson didn't recommend me keeping them with my Red Cherry Shrimps (RCS). Salesperson said, they'll eat & be very aggressive to the RCS, so I didn't get them. Someone else told me Siamese Algae Eaters (SAE) are especially great at eating Black Beard Algae. Was told to purschase the baby SAE & when it gets too large, return them to the store or put them in a larger tank. What do you think of using SAE in a small tank?🤔

    • @SimplyShrimps
      @SimplyShrimps  5 років тому

      It depends on how big your tank is? But I would agree amano shrimp can be more aggressive eaters and can harass others. The SAE would have to be pretty tiny. I did the same to be honest once. I put a SAE that was about 5-6cm in a 50 litre aquarium then moved it out. It’s now in my 500 litre aquarium and about 15cm long :)

  • @dominic.h.3363
    @dominic.h.3363 5 років тому +1

    If shrimp have nothing left to graze on, they will clean up the glass. But since they require so little to eat that the biofilm and algae on the other surfaces is plenty, they won't touch the glass. Also in my experience Neocaridina are the better algae eaters, because if they do not receive supplemental feeding, they eat more types of algae than Amanos. Amanos only seem more efficient because they eat more within a given time frame, they have larger appetite.

    Hey I have a problem. I have a barb, a molly, and an algae eater fish in my tank. My tank doesn’t get algae so I give them algae bites but my barb and molly eat the bites and the algae eater ends up not being able to eat any :/ how can I stop the other fish from eating the bites? Please help!

    • @SimplyShrimps
      @SimplyShrimps  3 роки тому +1

      Try algae wafers. They are bigger and last longer so the algae eaters can get to them

    Hi could anyone please tell me if a bristlenose catfish is a bad choice for a 20L tank? Seems the aquarium store never told me that this was not ok and now I find myself doing research and seeing my tank is far too small. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Imo the only animal that really eats a considerable amount of algae is the oto . They cleaned up every leaf of the plants in my tank perfectly. I never saw any shrimp doing this.

      This is why I would suggest using a combination of a few different types of cleaners in your aquarium. If the size allows :)

    What about ghost shrimp, they are sold as feeders and are cheap! I buy like 30 at a time, they breed fast and do a great job and are smaller and if the fish pick them off no biggie!

    No reticulated hillstreams. Rip. They are my favorite small tank alge eatter. Mines in a 20L along with 1 nerite, 5 ammano, and an unkown number of mts. They share the tank with a 6 fish gang of super nippy Galaxy Rasboras. Fun little tank.
