However, total elimination of algae is considered unlikely in a hobby aquarium. Algae can be used as an bioindicator to inform an aquarist on water chemistry and other conditions. [2] Some species are intentionally cultivated within algae scrubbers. Few algae, such as marimo or red moss, are sought after for aquascaping in freshwater aquaria.
Audouinella, also known as black algae, [1] is a widespread genus of red algae, found in marine and freshwater environments. [ 2 ] The form known as " black brush algae " (or " black beard algae ", BBA for short) is a particular nuisance in aquaria , since most algae eater fish and invertebrates avoid it.
Rarely seen in the hobby and can be found in dim habitats in the wild. The algae is excellent at stripping a tank of nutrients so it must be carefully monitored. Two varieties exist, one with smooth, round blades and the other with concave blades. Was known as Caulerpa peltata and also may be called Saucer algae and Mushroom algae. [39] [38] [40]

They are valued in the aquarium trade for being the only known fish species to consume red algae, including ‘black brush’ or ‘beard’ algae. [6] Closely related is the red algae-eater Crossocheilus langei, a species that is widely sold as the Siamese algae-eater. It has a bright brownish elongate body with a slightly flat belly.
Many other fish in the order Cypriniformes are also sold under this name. Very likely to jump out of the aquarium especially after reaching adult size. Very useful for getting rid of algae when it is young but prefer fish food upon reaching adulthood. [50] Cyclocheilichthys janthochir: 20 cm (7.9 in) Flying fox (fish) Epalzeorhynchos kalopterus
