They ate it or it go stuck in the filter. Check the filter and see if it's there. If not, it may have gotten stuck in the filter, staved and then when it washed out of the filter the fish ate it.
The Pleco is of the Loricariidae family. The Chinese Algae Eater is of the Gyrinocheilidae family.
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.
An algae eating species of any type isn't capable of eating all the algae in the tank. Your going to have to clean the tank yourself. The algae eater will from then on keep the algae levels in your tank down, but not totally.
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.
I suppose so
No.
Yes, neon tetras can live with algae eaters like bristlenose plecos or Siamese algae eaters. However, make sure the tank size is large enough to accommodate both species, and provide ample hiding spots for the neon tetras as they can be sensitive to aggressive tankmates. Additionally, ensure the algae eater's diet is supplemented as they may not rely solely on algae for sustenance.
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.
Pleco - Suckermouth catfish , Siamese Algae Eater, Albino Algae Eater , Ancistrus - Bristlenose pleco ,Oto Catfish , Plecostomus ( Very aggressive and go well with Oscar ) All algae eaters go well with Oscars.
