you can put an algae eater in with any tropical fish, I even have a goldfish in with my tropical fish now for almost 8 years. Pet store say no but i beg to differ. 8 yrs going strong, gold fish, algae eater, angel fish, silver dollars. Some fish are more dominate over others. I have learned no matter what they are if they are put in the tank, all as new fish as the same time, they all get along. After one dies, then as time goes on a new one has to earn its peck so to speak, so new ones get picked on. I have an algae eater and a cat fish. all is good.

What type of algae eater is best for a goldfish tank with four goldfish?
it doesn't really matter what kind of algae eater you get for the tank.In my experience with goldfish I've found that plecos work well although they get very big and will need to be kept in a very large tank.
Can you put an algae eater in the take with carp?
Since they don't use the same food source, they aren't competitive. However, bigger fish eat smaller fish no matter what. Algae eaters tend to survive when other free-swimming fish get eaten, but if your carp are really aggressive or breeding or maybe just bored, then the algae eaters of whatever kind may get picked on. You could try snails and controlling the amount of light, if algae eating fish don't work out.

What is this tropical sucker fish called?
Any fish with a underslung suckermouth can get labelled as a "sucker fish". The Pleco family consists of more than 800 species getting anything from 1" to close to 40". Then there are lot of other fish with that kind of mouth, including some freshwater Gobies and some types of Cyprinid like the Siamese Algae Eater. And then there are Chinese Algae Eaters too. Basically, there is no one species that is called a "sucker fish"!!

Does too much algae in a pond kill the fish?
If the algae is growing on the fish, the answer should be no. Algae growing on fish is a form of commensalism, which one life form benefits, while the other isn't benefited, yet isn't harmed at the same time. Most fish, no.
Does janitor fish eat little fish?
The term "janitor fish" can be applied to any fish with an underslung suckermouth, including Plecos, Chinese Algae Eaters and Siamese Algae Eaters. And none of them perform any kind of "janitor" duty, Plecos in particular are HUGE waste producers, a happy Pleco is a pooping Pleco, and are actually quite the opposite of any kind of "janitor"!! Nothing eats fish poop.
