  The pond behind my work has 5 alligators in it. Lately a company has been going out there & spraying a chemical to kill the plant life & algae in the water. Is this harmful to the gators & other wildlife that live by the pond?

  I have the laziest plecostomus on the planet. It will ONLY eat the algae inside the cave thing it calls its home. I've got red algae taking over my tank, and I'm already over the limit on "recommended inches of fish". What to do?
