I don't need to read it. If it says that Algae eaters won't eat the caudal fins off my apistos all the way to the peduncle overnight, it is bogus. I don't care if it was written by God himself. They will do it, and I have seen them do it, and I have received confirming testimony from others on this mailing list that they will do it. I simply have chosen to go with snails, and have asked for help in locating some. Like I said before, get some of your precious algae eaters and let me know how it works out. Meanwhile, we all have the right to operate our tanks as we see fit. That is why I live in America, so I can have that right.
