No, not really. They soon die. It's just not kind fo keep them. If you have algae, get a GFO reactor and fix it. An algae eater just poos the stuff back into your tank and it never cures it.

not to contradict Sk8tr she is right but if you have a lfs that is willing to take it back when your done and you can keep an eye on it easily enough. i have used them to rid the bulk of HA problems. of course when they run out of HA they die, so having an exit plan is immportant but they eat a LOT of hair algae. i think there are a couple species this is the one i have had luck with for HA grazing only

They don't last long but are amazing hair algae eaters.
