Derbird Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 What are you trying to get the fish to do? Is pest control or algae removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbird Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 A tail spot blenny or similar would work for you. But honestly in a 13 gallon tank you would be better off just grabbing 4 of 5 snails and saving your fish for something you really want (unless it's a blenny. They are cool) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInside Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) I run one large turbo snail, 1 nasarius snail, filter floss and two chemi pure blue nano packets in a 14 gallon and have 0 algae issues. Dont think you will need a fish to help with algae in a tank this size. 5 gallon water change per week with vacuuming the sand and it’s good to go Edited March 20, 2019 by CrazyInside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rad reefer Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Thanks for the good advice. I had two long fun clowns in my 7 gallon tank and it would go through algae cycles but usually cleared up all I ran in it was a tiny protein skimmer. And I don’t have algae yet but if I were to get a fish it would make waste and possibly start up some algae blooms and I would want the fish to eat it offf the rocks and that’s what the tail spot blend does so I think I’ll get oneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask the tang police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InLikeFlynn Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Nice tank. I've never owned one myself, but Biota Captive Bred Court Jester/Rainford Gobies are available. They are small and are supposed to graze on hair algae. Supposedly the captive-bred ones also take prepared foods better than the wild-caught ones which do not have a great survival record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
