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.
any type of catfish, eg butterfly plec. any type of loach, eg, weather loach.
Chinese algae eaters and Siamese algae eaters are both popular choices for controlling algae in aquariums, but they have some key differences in their effectiveness. Chinese algae eaters are known to be more aggressive and may not be as effective at controlling algae as Siamese algae eaters, which are more efficient and dedicated algae eaters. Siamese algae eaters are also known to be more peaceful and compatible with other fish in the aquarium, making them a better choice for maintaining a balanced ecosystem.
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
Chinese algae eaters are known to be more aggressive and territorial compared to Siamese algae eaters. Siamese algae eaters are generally more peaceful and can coexist with other fish in a freshwater aquarium. Additionally, Chinese algae eaters can grow larger in size and may not be suitable for smaller tanks. Siamese algae eaters are better suited for community tanks and are more effective at controlling algae growth.
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
Some types of fish known for eating brown algae in aquariums are Siamese algae eaters, otocinclus catfish, and bristlenose plecos.
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!
