Hey there fellow fish freaks ^_^

I had a very bad out break of a hair algae of sorts.
It was every where, and nothing would touch it, not even snails.
Poor fish were even getting caught up in it too!

Then I was turned on to the miracle fish - -
The American Flag Fish!

I put 3 of them into my 30g tank, and it was unbelievable watching this
stuff disappear! In a mater of days, the tank was clean of any strands of
this algae.
The flag fish did not nibble down my plants either.
And they actually are a very pretty & pleasant fish for a community tank.

This was over a year ago & my stock has diminished due to moving.
I have a 'long 40gal' getting ready for display.
I intend to get my local fish supplier to order some of these flag fish in
for me, cause they are not a type you would find easily for sale.
But they are inexpensive.. a couple of bucks...
I don't want to get stuck with out them again.

Now, if I could only grow any other type of plant than a sword.

Regards,
JC
