    It seems as though there are only a small handful of fish that will consume BBA. One of these is the siamese algae eater. Though size is an issue with that one because it grows quite large... So other than the SAE....

    Any one sucessfuly use another fish to consume BBA?

    Maybe otos?

    American Flag Fish. They stay pretty small, around 2". They will fin nip if put with long finned fishes like Bettas or Angels though. Some of the sponsors on here sometimes have them available.

    I have 3 Siamese algea eaters in my 72 gallon, they do a great job on BBA and do not bother tank mates.
