You can pick up a bottle of Acurel F for only $4 at any Petco in the fish department and just add 2-4 drop per. gallon in your tank. Once the water is clear add 1-2 drops per. gallon for the next 2 weeks or so, one bottle should last a pretty long time.

Can you put snails in a goldfish bowl?
As long as they are not tropical. They like to eat algae and it is good if you have a lot of algae in your tank.
Can algra eaters br put with goldfish?
I do not know of any Algae eaters that can live in cold water . Goldfish are cold water fish. So unless you can find some species of cold water algae eater the answer is no they can not be kept together successfully.
Will algae eaters eat my goldfish?
It depends, if your goldfish are smaller than your algae eater, and big enough to fit in it's mouth, then very much so. If the goldfish are small, but too big to fit into your algae eater's mouth, then he might just injure them. But your algae eater shouldn't be so small that your goldfish could eat it. The rule with fish that I always go by is, if it can fit into it's mouth, it will be eaten.
Why does your common goldfish keep nipping at your tank snail?
Does your snail have algae on it? Goldfish will eat anything that "grows" in the tank. They will eat turtle droppings, water scumm, algae, anything! That is why they are called bottom feeders.
I have a suckerfish and 2 goldfish do I need to feed the suckerfish or will it just eat the bacteria inside the tank?
Of course you have to feed them. (They are tropical fish so should not be in a cold water tank with goldfish anyway). Your suckerfish are algae eaters and need their own special diet that's available at pet shops.
What does a regular fish eat?
Well, it depends. If it is a tropical fish it needs tropical flakes. If it is a betta fish it needs betta pellets. If it is a algae eater they need algae chips. If it is a fresh water fish it needs fresh water flakes or pellets or goldfish flakes or pellets. They all like freeze dried blood worms as a special treat! It is good to feed a variety of fish foods! Good luck!

Plecostomus are algae eaters they are not carnivores. They are also tropical fish so they should never be in an aquarium with coldwater fish like goldfish.

They can live with your goldfish but this may happen, This is because you are not feeding them enough most likely.

You rehome the Algae Eaters. Chinese Algae Eaters, what you have, are hardy tropical fish that turn increasingly predatory as they age.

They are also capable of taking out eyeballs or even eating smaller fish entirely who sit still too long.

About how long could two goldfish and a Chinese algae eater live in a 5 gallon tank?
Not Long. These different species of fish need totally different water temperatures and so should never be kept together. The Algea eater is a tropical fish and should never go below 70F. The goldfish are cold water fish and should be kept at around 55F to 65F. Applying the basic rule of all aquarists " 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water " you will see that the tank is far too small to accomodate even one goldfish properly so the life span of the goldfish depends on how often you change their water and how good the filter is.
