Unboxing my new algae eaters to help with the algae in my 12 gallon guppy tank.
The yellow neocaridina shrimp were always going to be added to the tank for decoration regardless of algae build up but I really do think that they are an underrated algae eater.
I wanted to add two or three amano shrimp to the tank to help deal with left over food and algae but increased their numbers in this tank due to the algae.
The horned nerite snails are more of a test for a larger aquarium that I want to build next year. I have shrimp in my other tanks but never tried horned nerites but if they seem to help with the algae then I will get more for next years tank build.
