Hey Sergi, after reading about Big E's use of a nardoa to remove astarinas from his tank, I used one clear out a tank of astarinas over a period 6 months in a different tank.
They seem to do a good job but they are not fast eaters so if the population is too large, they don't keep up..
I haven't seen any evidence that blue linkia eat astarina.. that would be great if they did, I'd add a couple of them, as we'll, they are so nice!
