Any good pet shop should carry them.
Are you talking about a golden algae eater? If so then they will eat any algae that is in your tank which is the green stuff that gets on the walls and decorations and if you don't have much or any of that you can feed them algae wafers which are green flat disks that you should be able to get at any fish store.

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.
Yes, they are. the plecostomus will eat algae, but feed them algae wafers daily and supplement their diet with fresh/cooked zucchini once a week. Fresh zucchini will need to be kept to the bottom of the aquarium. Do all of the feedings at night because plecostomus are nocturnal. I disagree. Actually, coryadoras do a MUCH better job at eating algae. Also, otocinclus and mystery snails, too. I'd recommend against a plecostamus unless it's a dwarf kind, and understand that they put out more waste than they remove from the tank. They're hardly worth the bother.
algae and algae wafers
uh yes i they do. iv'e had one for a while and i feed it algae wafers and flakes, took a while for it to realize that the algae wafers were food though. hope that was useful peace out girl scout
Yeah.
They eat algae wafers, algae in your tank, or left over food the other fish haven't eaten.
Snails are small inverts and do not need to eat much. They are scavengers and will eat algae, and any other small things they can find your fish tank. Snails are a great edition to any tank and the need little if any care! You can supplement their diet with algae wafers, and small pieces of blanched zucchini and lettuce. Very minimally.
Yes. Algae wafers are food that sinks on the bottom of the tank. it is food for some bottom feeders like cat fish. However, some upper or mid strata fish will eat it. Unless they're carnivores.
It doesnt need that much water, even a small plastic cup would work.
Rye wafers can be found at grocery stores, specialty food stores, online retailers, and sometimes at farmers markets or food co-ops. They are often sold in the cracker or bread section.
Yes, I have an Albino Corydoras catfish and he love to feast on the algae. Although they eat the algae, you may also want to buy them algae wafers or shrimp pellets just to make sure they are well fed!
Most of the time you can just leave them in the tank. The other fish will most likely leave them alone. You can feed them wafers with algae in them. They will also eat whatever your other algae eaters eat. I hope this answer helps!

You simply do regular weekly water changes of at least 50%, use an algae scrubber to clean some of the algae, and ensure that you clean out any waste. Plecos cannot survive on nothing but algae though and you should provide them with algae wafers as well as zucchini on a regular basis
