    At 3" it should be able to vary its diet but if it's still not eating algae, just buy some spirulina algae flakes and see if it will eat that.

    Mine seemed scared of the seaweed and/or clip at first and wouldn't go near it. I left the clip in the tank for about a week then tried again and she started grazing on it. It's such a timid fish you might keep something like that in mind. Btw she is only about 2" long.
