What eats suckerfish?

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.

Is golden algae omnivores?

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.


How do you wash your tank with a plecostamus in it?

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

How do you make algae for your algae eating fish?

If you're having trouble getting algae in a tank with algae eaters there a couple of explanations to consider. 1. They are eating all the algae. Fish can see algae before we can in many cases. 2. The conditions for algae are not correct. My advice is to buy sinking algae wafers for you algae eaters. Drop them in a couple hours before you turn the lights off. They contain extra vitamins etc. that fish won't get from just eating algae. Don't leave the algae disks in for more than and hour and remove what's left over, otherwise you'll begin polluting your tank water.


Should you clean fish tank if it has a placostamis fish?

You should always keep your tank clean regardless of having a pleco as the water needs to be changed regularly (weekly of at least 50%), and you need to remove any debris; the pleco will enjoy some algae, but you should also feed it algae wafers and zucchini.
