I've used American Flag Fish (Florida Flag Fish) against hair algae and saw
almost immediate results as they went after the hair algae. I keep them in
a very mixed population of guppies, mollies and such in a well planted
aquarium. I never saw a problem. I really can't help but feel that the
hype of them being fin nippers was a little overblown. I got my Flagfish
from floridadriftwood.com
I've kept rosy barbs too, but have seen little personal evidence that they
care for hair algae. Just my opinion.
