I need them to eat some hair algae and I have some really big fish, so I will have to wait for something a little bigger :) Keep me posted!

alternatively

set up a smaller tank with amano shrimp
(we just got in 100 Large size)
move algae covered object or plant to that tank
let amanos clean it
move it back later

I do and they work wonders!

I have a 10 gal tank with 8 large Amano shrimp. They are a like an algae eating machine. They eat whatever algae I've got - including beard algae. They clean plants, wood, rocks, coconut shells, clay pots, you name it. I feed them nothing but algae.

I have the beard algae :( and a 150 gallon tank and it is taking over a bit. If I piece out the items with the algae I think it would take forever, do you think the shrimps would be ok in a tank with some bigger fish. They aren't too aggressive but I don't know if they will be curious. I have a redfin Prochelodis that is 12" (he is the biggest fish in there). I had 2 SAEs and they were doing a good job but they decided to jump :(

even the giggest amano shrimp is only 2 inch
so it would probably be a snack for anything large

panda garra would be the best option

I heard they were out of season
but I'll keep looking
