They are harmless and never chase other fish. They help keep the tank clean by eating the algae. It's good to have one in any aquarium.
No. They only eat algae. They are no fish that are tank cleaners.
A Plecosotmus is a freshwater fish in Central and South America. This species of fish is known as the "sucker fish". They are well known for their uncanny ability to keep tanks clean from algae or any other unwanted debris.
You can put sucker fish in ponds, but you will need somewhere to keep it in the winter if you live in a state that has cold winters and/or snow. Unlike the Koi and goldfish they cannot live under the ice in the pond. The coldest temperature sucker fish can withstand is about 55 degrees.
No, they are very hardy and there should be one in every tank. they simply feed on algae that grows naturally and will keep your glass clean. They also get very big when they get old but won't hurt other fish.
Fish are Friends, Not Food
sucker-fish, or any other fish, do NOT eat waste. they sometimes eat uneaten food and they are good for tanks because they help clean it.. They eat algae in the tank but it usually isn't enough. Feeding them algae wafers is a good to make sure you are feeding your fish enough food.
Its hard to keep any fish with Convict.Especially with a breeding pair of convicts.Maybe another species of armored catfish like many species of doradids or talking catfish as they are called.
Just keep the cage clean. and clean it like u would clean a fish tank.
There are a variety of fish that can keep a tank clean. The type of fish will depend on the type of aquarium setup. In a freshwater tank, different types of plecostomus are most common.
Filters keep the water clean for the fish, kind of like we need clean air to breath properly. Also, filters keep the tank clean by (yep you guessed it) filtering the water. I hope this helped^^
Some will rip the plant up some won't. It's just a matter of how yours behave.
