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.
yes algae eaters do eat dead fish because as i type this my algae eater is feasting on a dead goldfish!
There are specialised foods for algae eaters at most good pet shops.
Sardines are not scaleless fish. They have scales.
plecostamus, Chinese algae eaters, there are a lot.
Catfish, eels, sharks.
Yes they are good as a treat but Plecos are algae eaters. Specialised food is available for algae eaters at good pet/fish shops
it depends on the fish. some fish like algae eaters eat algae tablets. But there is also pellets and fish flakes sold at stores like petco or walmart
You rehome the Algae Eaters. Chinese Algae Eaters, what you have, are hardy tropical fish that turn increasingly predatory as they age. They will not stop sucking of slime coat of Goldfish or any other fish who holds still long enough. They are also capable of taking out eyeballs or even eating smaller fish entirely who sit still too long.
Most of the time you can just leave them in the tank. The other fish will most likely leave them alone. You can feed them wafers with algae in them. They will also eat whatever your other algae eaters eat. I hope this answer helps!
Yes, they can help for sure
Many types of animals eat algae in freshwater. Snails, fish, bivalves and even birds are all common algae eaters.
