Mine prefer the brown algae; they pretty much ignore green algae. Are their little tummies nice and round? If so, they're getting plenty to eat and are fine. If they don't seem to be getting much to eat, try putting a blanched slice of zucchini or cucumber in the tank; they should enjoy that.

I agree...mine never really took care of any green algae, only the brown...and they really didn't do well eating anything I put in the tank (not even zucchini etc). You really want to keep an eye on their tummy and make sure its not sunken in.
