Yes, guppies are omnivorous and will eat algae as part of their diet. However, they should not rely solely on algae for nutrition and should be supplemented with other foods like fish flakes or live foods.
Most fish will not eat only algae, and will eat anything else you put in and leave the algae untouched, instead. If you want to add something to a tank in order to get rid of algae, I recommend a snail or some shrimp. Or you could take a clean rag and wipe it off the tank.
Some fish that commonly eat algae include plecos, siamese algae eaters, and otocinclus catfish. These fish can be beneficial in helping to control algae growth in aquariums and ponds. It's important to research the specific dietary needs and compatibility of these fish before adding them to an aquatic environment.
It depends on what type of algae eater you are referring to. Most of them however will do well to have veggies added to their diet, as most commercial algae wafers are fish meal based, and aren't vegetarian at all. Not good news for some of our algae eaters, but there are also species that are omnivores, so double check your fish's eating requirements. That said, good things to add include zucchini, peas, romaine lettuce, spinach, and kale.
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.

Siamese algae eaters are smaller and have a slender body with a dark horizontal stripe, while Chinese algae eaters are larger and have a more elongated body with a lighter coloration. Siamese algae eaters are peaceful and prefer to eat algae, while Chinese algae eaters can become aggressive and may not solely rely on algae as their diet.
No, because plants are not made up of algae
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!
