we have seamonkeys and i read the intructions to put them in or near sunlight to produce algea, but its not enough. what helps produce more algea fast? the algea at the bottom is white,is that normal too? i thought it was supposed to be green. at first it was then it turned white but theres none being made.

I went to the LFS looking for a ghost shrimp to scavenge excess food flakes off the bottom of the tank – they have been out of ghost shrimp for like two months, and I really wanted one of those….
Well, they had baby blue lobsters….maybe an inch long….and I asked if they would scavenge food the same way…they said sure….I asked if he would be alright in a five gallon tank with other fish…they said sure…
Now I’m having the feeling that I was bamboozled.
So here are my questions…
Said inch long baby blue Australian lobster is in a 5 gallon tank with one very young female swordtail I’m holding for someone, and a 3/4 inch fercata rainbow….I feed them frozen daphnia, frozen brine shrimp and flakes…will he eat those things, should I feed him sinking wafers, or will he eat my fish?
My instincts say he’s a hunting critter – he’s going to hunt if given the chance.

I have a 30 gallon tank, 2 logs on bottom with places to hide under, fake coral, cave, 2 live bamboo shoots. Rainbow shark, 2 average sized angel fish. Had one molly but randomly was pecked to death. I just intoduced 5 pristella tetras to the tank and the rainbow shark chases them all day long nipping at their fins. the tetras try to hide but after 2 days had to put them in baby net because their fins are almost gone. what should i do? or why is my rainbow shark so dang aggressive? water temp 78, ph 6.8-7.2 fed tropical fish flakes and brine shrimp. any suggestions? the rainbow leaves the angels alone
