Regular Member Anic Posted December 8, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2006 no- but a good way is a mystery snail or two- in that they lay their eggs above the water line and are controllable I've read and heard that 'mystery' snails don't eat brown algae. If they did, I wouldn't have a problem with it since I do have a large snail. I have to feed her lettuce, algae wafers, etc. I always thought that loaches were good for brown algae.
