We just started a new planted FW tank. Presently only has three guppies. Bought cobomba (sp?) and amazon sword from LFS and noticed this mossy dark green "algae" when we put it in the tank. I assume this is hairy green algae (maybe I have the name not quite correct).

I'm not sure I like it. In just two days I see what look like fine cat hairs coming off of several plants, some are branding.
If it stays in check, well OK, but I have scenes in my mind of not so well run LFS where this stuff just covers everything. Reminds me of when I lived in Georgia--kudzu just suffocated everything in its grip.
So, will otocinculus munch on this stuff? Any better options? Should I stop worrying and just enjoy the tank?
Thanks, Dave
