It depends on what type of algae eater you are referring to. Most of them however will do well to have veggies added to their diet, as most commercial algae wafers are fish meal based, and aren't vegetarian at all. Not good news for some of our algae eaters, but there are also species that are omnivores, so double check your fish's eating requirements. That said, good things to add include zucchini, peas, romaine lettuce, spinach, and kale.
