Dalmatian Molly eating green hair algae

[umbis]

I've been dealing with a scourge of GHA for a couple months now. I've got my water quality under control but can't seem to rid my DT of it. Been reading up a bit on some people having luck with mollies eating it. I acclimated 2 successfully yesterday over a 10 hour period. They didn't seem affected at all after I added them to my quarantine tank. They ate flakes right away. This morning I woke up to the black one stuck head first in a powerhead  . He jammed it like a stick in a bicycle wheel (hope no tree-huggers are reading). I put a GHA infested rock in the QT this morning. I didn't feed the tank today, and by 5 pm I noticed the dalmatian molly munching away on the GHA! 8). If he keeps it up I may add him to my DT.

I think the problem with doing this is that their urine doesn't break down properly in the system. I think this can cause problems. You might want to research it a little further.

Are you saying Molly pee is different from marine fish pee?
