d3r Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 so I have a 120gal fish tank with Piranha in it. it housed a large common pleco aswell through 4years that kept the tank glass spotless. unfortunately Pleco mustve gotten too close to the danger zone a few months back and he ended up as a meal... without a pleco in there the tank quickly builds up algae on the glass because it is in front of a main window. I'm constantly cleaning the glass so my question is; Can I scrape off some of the algae from the big tank and put it in my shrimp tank for them to eat? id hate to be throwing away free food!

Josh Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 You can definitely do that, the shrimp love munching on the algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Will piranha eat/kill nerite snails? I ask because nerites are awesome little algae busters. Just to help cut down on tank side scraping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Actually, I used to throw in algae covered plants from other tanks into the shrimp tank and they'd leave that plant without a speck of algae by the very next day. Then, I just replant the plant into the original tank again all cleaned up. Easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
