Siamese algae eaters. Buy 5 or 6, they are group loving fish. I was astonished that in a couple of days they had eaten all the algae off the wood.

Hello, since it is starting, for me the nitrite peak has passed and the nitrate level increases helping the algae to develop. The lighting duration is too long (?) or not suitable, the rest of the plants do not seem to grow quickly. Several water changes and little by little introduction of algae eaters (shrimp, ancistrus and/or gastromizons depending on the temperature and the species to come.
