So i was wondering what will happen when the Algae eater gets bigger ive heard they eat the slime coating on fish if so should i get rid of it? Greenterror 2010-01-15 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=chinese-algae-eaters#2 This can happen but looking at your other fish I think you should be o.k. as they do not produce a thick slime coat as some of the other species do mickey 2010-01-16 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=chinese-algae-eaters#3 Cool thanks mickey i'll just keep a close eye on him but everything seems to be right a this time Greenterror 2010-01-17
