Want to know a little brackish secret.

[ActualProof]

What common reef “nuisance” algae do Mollies help manage? Will they eat GHA?

 

[The guppy guru]

Yes mollies will munch threw green hair algae. And they eat hydroids.

I kinda regret getting rid of my molly, because I’m currently battling against GHA in my 30 gallon mixed nano reef.

...... oh that’s is funny but yeah if you have any questions you should know what to do.

I was just teasing, I appreciate the enthusiasm!

 

[The guppy guru]

Thanks and I know that you were just teasing me. That made mi laugh.

I’m going to try this in a tank full of LPS and zoas. I’ve always liked mollies. Hopefully, the clown and the blue-eye won’t curb stomp him.

 

[The guppy guru]

I hope you have success and you should probably have a few mollies but more females than males.

Hi everyone if you have any questions just type them down below.

Hey if anyone is interested in doing this with some brackish fish then just type down below which fish, and we will try to guide you thru the way.

What kind of fish can do this other than guppies and mollies.

 

[The guppy guru]

Other fish that can do this are monos, endlers, green spotted puffer, figure 8 puffer, bumblebee goby, dragon goby, and swordtails.

I could have gotten a couple mollies instead of my yellow tang for gha seriously? Its fine but my yellow tang barely eats it.

I’ve had 3 spotted/green scat in my 210 for a year or so. 35 ppt. Purchase from liveaquaria and drip acclimated over the course of 4 hours.

They are little piggies constantly grazing on algae, have grown a ton, don’t bother anything or anyone. They line up for the Nori with the Tangs according to size, and are almost always swimming together.

Wow that certainly is cool man, this is why I want a larger tank. I’m currently looking at a 75 gallon tank in my backyard that is empty I just need better lights but when I get the better lights I’ll be upgrading to the larger tank.

Yes you could have gotten the mollies but they can also no hit or miss at eating GHA but most do eat the stuff. But if they don’t eat GHA they will eat other algae’s like green spot, diatom, and the common encrusting algae.
