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.
It depends, if your goldfish are smaller than your algae eater, and big enough to fit in it's mouth, then very much so. If the goldfish are small, but too big to fit into your algae eater's mouth, then he might just injure them. But your algae eater shouldn't be so small that your goldfish could eat it. The rule with fish that I always go by is, if it can fit into it's mouth, it will be eaten.
If your algae eater is not moving, it could be resting or feeling stressed. Check the water parameters such as temperature, pH, and ammonia levels to ensure they are within the appropriate range. If the water conditions are suitable and the fish still doesn't move, gently nudge it to see if it reacts. If there is no response, it could be a sign that the fish is unwell or deceased.
A 1 gallon tank is not large enough for even 1 Betta, let alone adding an Algae eater as well to the tank. The basic rules for keeping fish sucessfully are.:- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water.(A Betta is a 3 inch fish) :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the rules you will stand a chance of keeping fish sucessfully. If you don't I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and dying before their due time. Bettas and Algae eaters are both tropical species and should also have a heater to keep their water temperature at around 78F.
Siamese algae eaters need at least a 20-gallon tank due to their size and need for space to swim. A 2.5-gallon tank is too small and would not provide adequate space or suitable conditions for their well-being.
I have a small flock of American gold finches eating the algae in my garden pond, every day. What is in algae that would make them eat it?
Freshwater aquatic snails would be the best choice for a tank that small.

No it was a small and aggressive meat eater and could have also been a cannibal.
You should really get a algae eater. Some of the alge killers are harmful to the fish. it really depends on what type of algae. if its green water algae then use and algicide which you can purchase from aquariums. if it's filament algae then get some snail or algae eating fish. the quickest solution is to scrap the algae off yourself.
yes but you probably shouldn't when they get older they suck algae off of other fish wich will die. i would put it up for adoption. but it depends on the kind of algae eater i like plecos. but the tiny worm like thing at the petstore where the suck on their dead comrades, arent the best fish, but you can put more than one together as long as living space and tank levels allow. if you like stuff like those look into loaches just Google image it, but have a fifty or more gallon tank no matter how small they apear.
some fish eat algae. it just depends on what fish you are talking about. But yes fish do eat algae.
