Hair algae and shrimps

[apuda2010]

What type of shrimps eat hair algae ? Can someone confirm ?

I have this nagging hair algae problem as the tank is still not heavily planted. Any suggestions will be very welcome.

Also...any idea of where one can source such shrimps in Delhi ?

Introduced two rosy barbs in your aquarium. Don't feed them 2-3 days. After one week, there will be no hair algae. They will graze on hair algae like as goats.

will rosy barbs create problems for other tank mates in case you are housing shrimps?
