Electric Blue Alhi

I have an Electic Blue Alhi, he's a pain, royal pain that is. I need something to help to help clean the tank, it's getting red/brown algee. We had a lovely bristle nose in with him but he killed it, I told you he was nasty. We can't put anything in with him, he's about 5" long and mean, he'll even nip when you put your hands in to clean the tank.

In my 75 gallon I have a 14" high fin pleco, she would scale him if I put her in there BUT she would clean the tank. I just need something that I can put in there that he can't harm/kill. I hate that he killed my bristle because I loved that fish.

Any help I'd appreciate.

Thanks

can anybody have a quick look into this one for biffy ??

To be honest this isnt my line of work lol.... :roll:

oh thank you but I don't need the help anymore, my Ahli passed last night, we have no clue what happened. All of a sudden he went completely crazy slammed into the walls of the tank, tried to jump out of the tank and then 20 mins later was gone, he changed colors and all that. We checked all his water levels and everything was right. So now we have an empty tank that we are thinking of moving our 2 angels, 1 cory and getting a BN to go in there, but the tank needs a really good cleaning first.

Thanks, but I do need to know if he could have been posioned when he ate the BN that he did about 3 wks ago........

Thanks again

High Biffy ,sorry I couldn't help with your first question, but yours is the same reason I gave up on african cichlids- mean little snots that like to chew on other fish.
As for the Ahli being poisoned by the bristly -I doubt it. Did the Ahli completely devour the B/N or pick at him enough to kill it? If he completely munched him down the Ahli "could " have got those side spikes lodged in some where important.
