Review of the Algae Control Series:
Seawater fish tank control algae battle, do you know which snails, crabs, sea urchins can help you?
The most powerful algae control in the sea tank is a variety of fish, this article talks about which marine fish will be better for algae control.
<h1>Rayfish:</h1>
Wei Yu, who eats diatoms (brown algae as the players say), crumbs in the jar, soft and short filamentous green algae, these guys will leave a string of nibbling imprints on the glass.
Mandarin fish is often confused with gobies in China, and the sales list of merchants will also mix wrench with gobies, such as two-color gobies, which are actually two-colored hawks.
The two-color heterodonted owls are often called two-color shrimp tigers in merchants
Most of the fish will eat the microalgae in the fish tank, their funny mouths, high eyebrows, and silly personalities, like the huskies in the sea tank.
Among the many mandarin fish, the most familiar to the majority of players is "watermelon planing", Chinese scientific name "fine striped phoenix". This guy is really good at nibbling on algae.
There are also the following kinds of highly efficient hawks that are also easy to buy:
Black Gold Ray, I have one, I call him "Rush Bully"
Clown rayfish, also known as clown "shrimp tiger", have a record of nibbling hard bones
Vanado Fish, some of the orders are called flame buses
It should be noted that the following ray does not eat algae, they mainly eat zooplankton, and his trade name is "golden shears".
However, it should be noted that this fish may lack heart eyes, and sometimes harass hard bones, perhaps they treat hard bones as inferior algae. In addition, these guys are still cute and cute, and they will drive away some small fish.
Novices need to pay attention to the fact that this kind of fish is not suitable for group farming, and a fish tank can be put into at most one, otherwise the probability of jumping out of the tank because of a fight is very large.
<h1>Hanging class:</h1>
Hangings are the most common algae control fish in fish tanks and are the mainstream fish in coral tanks.
Hangings mainly look at the mouth type to analyze which kind of algae they are interested in, and the long-beaked cranes represented by the golden crane have a good control ability over filamentous algae.
Gold hanging
Coffee hanger
Purple hanging, purple hanging will also nibble on grape algae
Another type is the "sexy lip-shaped" hanging class represented by the golden eye hanging, which hangs the mouth and teeth like a "comb", which can nibble the short green algae on the glass and the living stone and the thin algae film.
Goldeneye hanging
Pearl gold-eyed hanging
Rocket crane
In addition, there are some more special hanging categories, such as: Tengu crane, Golden Retriever crane. This kind of hanging species can grow very large, more than 35 cm or more, when they are small, the ability to eat algae is also very strong, of which the tengu has a good effect on the fungus in the tank.
Tengu hanging
The difference between the golden retriever and the tengu is the color of the dorsal fin
Finally, it is necessary to remind novice friends that it is very easy to eat algae after accepting pellet feed, and most of the hanging food is very large, the amount of excretion is also very large, and it is not recommended to raise too many hangings in the coral tank. Most cranes are prone to white spot disease, please quarantine fully before entering the main tank.
<h1>Fox Fish and Rabbit Fish:</h1>
Fish that are fun to hear the name, but they are actually stupid fish, but they are very useful for controlling filaments and hard algae, and they will also nibble on bubble algae when they are not opening their mouths.
But they have 2 problems, the first is that it will grow very large, generally can be 20cm-50cm, and the other is that the backstab of this fish is poisonous, and it will cause relatively large pain when it is pierced, so be careful.

<h1>Blunt Shrimp Tiger:</h1>
Typically, ringo gobies, which filter algae from sand. Some people may say that the "diamond sentry" also filters the sand, but the diamond sentry mainly eats microorganisms in the sand, not algae.
Ringo shrimp tiger, filter brown algae on sand, green mud
Diamond sentry, filtering brown algae on sand
Yellow-striped shrimp tiger, he will slowly nibble on filament algae
Writing this chapter I feel like I'm doing a biopic.
The next article talks about using a filtration system to control algae.
