    i dont think to much would happen. black hair algae is so strong even allot of plecs and otto's wont bother with it. if you wanna get rid of it talk to the folks of G&S they have a working treatment!

    I think I posted the results just a second before you posted David, have a look now.

    Inspired by Myth busters ! Granted they need to be young and also an army of them, but they will eat black algae.

    Fantastic. What a gorgeous little clean up crew. And not a damaged leaf in sight. Perhaps you should hire them out
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
