Uh, Steve, April 1st was a long time ago :-). 

I think David is referring to the hard green spots that grow on the
glass and some plants.  None of the fish you mentioned will touch the
stuff in *our* tanks.  At least, they don't touch it enough to do
anything about it.  Apparently you trained yours to eat this stuff. 
How did you do it?
