Plecos work well in ponds and cold water aquariums.
any type of catfish, eg butterfly plec. any type of loach, eg, weather loach.
I do not know of any Algae eaters that can live in cold water . Goldfish are cold water fish. So unless you can find some species of cold water algae eater the answer is no they can not be kept together successfully.
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.
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.
Most small lake fish are algae or plant eaters and the larger fish in the pond usually eat the little fish plus any insects, worms, frogs or snakes that make it into the water.
You can definitely do that, but you haven't made it clear that you have cold water in the tank before. If you can keep the water temperature at 72 F, then you can keep both cold water fishes like gold fishes and non-aggressive community tropical fishes like gouramis, platys, mollies, algae eaters etc with gold fish.
Like all freshwater fish, It depends on the power of the filter and how clean the water is...
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.
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
