Tang/Fish compatability
Looking for comments on either of the following for reduction of filamentous algae (green and red):
1. I have a 4 inch Kole Tang - add a small 1-2 inch yellow tang, compatability issues? Would the size difference help? I know the yellow will eat the red (controlled it in a previous tank) 2. Other option instead of a yellow tang is another type of algae eater - looking for suggestions that won't compete with the film type algae that the Kole is eating. Thanks, Chris |

I'll be honest, my Tangs don't do much about algae. They graze here and there, but the best way to rid your tank IME is with snails (like confooseld said) or an algae Blenny (or both).

Lawnmower blennies are great until they realize that frozen foods and nori taste better than hair algae
Mine kept the tank clean for about 6 months and then one day he decided to stop eating hair algae and only eats nori and frozen foods. But if you decide to get one, your Kole tang might not like the blenny. My Kole tang doesn't bother anyone else but the blenny. They don't get along that well. |

Would a small yellow tang and a larger Kole be compatable?
