For small (5-20 gallons) tanks, a handful of Amani shrimp and albino algae eaters can be helpful, although in my own experience, albinos can be pretty fragile and die easily. For larger tanks (40+) plecos are the best choice. I've got a high-fin pleco and he's just great at eating algae and unwanted food
yes algae eaters do eat dead fish because as i type this my algae eater is feasting on a dead goldfish!
Because when a Algae Eater becomes fully grown it likes to eat the slime coat off the other fish. ( NOT all Algae eaters though) for example the Chinese Algae Eater WILL eat the slime coat off the other fish when it is fully grown.
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.
Goldfish are omnivorous and will nibble on a bit of algae as a part of their diet just as people will eat vegetables as a part of their diet.
All aquatic turtles eat fish, even if it's too big toeat.
algae fish you algae fish you
NO, not usually.
No it wont it just have its eggs and still live but don't get an algae eater if do, get one because they will eat your fish but it only a Pecos algae eater they will eat your fish they don't move in the morning but they are active at night
koi fish would normally eat goldfish food try tetra fin goldfish flakes they are made for goldfish and koi
Yes, goldfish are known to eat smaller fish, especially if they are hungry or if the smaller fish fit into their mouths.
they are most likely looking for food sources as algae normally builds up in that kind of area and like water snails fish will eat algae!
Goldfish are opportunistic omnivores and will eat whatever they can. This may include a much smaller fish or a deceased fish.
