to be honest i would crush it up when there little otherwise they might choke but when they get older i wouldn't crush it up.
Any good pet shop should carry them.
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
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.
You can buy algae wafers for it. But something fun is feeding it discs of zucchini or blanched spinach. It's very fun to watch and your pleco will enjoy it. Just be sure to remove anything uneaten within a few hours.
Yeah.
They eat algae wafers, algae in your tank, or left over food the other fish haven't eaten.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
