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.
It depends on what you are calling an "algae eater." A pleco is considered a scaleless fish. A Siamese or Chinese algae eater does have scales.
No.
Yes, I have had lots of experience with Oscars. One of mine died recently from a sickness. Algae eater fish are not dominant, in this case the Oscar does not take it as a threat and does not bother it. The answer to your question is yes, an Oscar can live with an algae eater fish.
If you have an algae eater and no algae you can go to any pet shop and get algae waffers.
Because I don't bother cleaning it. They bloat after they have been dead awhile. Are you using chlorine neutralizer and water purifier. Do you have algae eater.
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.
Good tank mates for a brown algae eater include peaceful community fish like tetras, guppies, and rasboras. Avoid aggressive or territorial fish that may compete for food or stress out the algae eater.
a shark
Certain species of fish, such as the Bristlenose Pleco and the Siamese Algae Eater, are known to eat brown algae.
It depends on what fish you have in the tank!
yes algae eaters do eat dead fish because as i type this my algae eater is feasting on a dead goldfish!
