Do fish eat algee

Answer 1

What algae will consume depends on the particular species of algae, whether autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrophic, and the conditions it is in. Photoautotrophic algae (plant-like algae) mostly need sunlight, Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus as well as water and CO2. Other species are able to survive without sunlight and others feed on bacteria and sugars instead of making their own sugars. Sometimes even photoautotrophic and heterotrophic algae if in lack of O2, they can no longer respirate so they go into anaerobic respiration and ferment.

Answer 2

Yes, many fish species eat algae as part of their diet. Herbivorous fish, like some species of catfish and plecos, consume algae as a primary food source. Additionally, some omnivorous fish may also include algae in their diet.

Answer 3

Most algae do not actually eat anything. Algae are just very tiny plants. Like other plants, they make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Powered by the energy of the Sun, dissolved carbon dioxide in water is used to make carbohydrates that plants live on. Algae also extract microscopic amounts of necessary elements (nitrates and phosphates) from the surrounding water. An increase in these nutrients can be one trigger for "algae blooms" that can cover large areas and deplete oxygen levels in the water when they die and decompose.

A few species of algae are mixotrophic rather than autotrophic, and absorb carbon from ingested bacteria, or directly from organic nutrients.

Answer

they are producers, so they get energy from the sun.

Answer 4

allege eaters will stick to anything in the tank and will suck to have access to the micro things you can`t see; like forming allege, and anything that they can eat. When they suck in, there mouth is specially made to let that 'food' go right into there bodies-it`s nutrients to them. They have smaller eyes and are IN the tank to know it is forming 'food' . In a clean tank, they need extra nutrients always from there food you can get at a pet store that carries them.

Answer 5

Algae are plants and therefore they do not eat anything, they make their own food form sunlight, air and water.

Fungi are decomposers and in the majority obtain their nourishment form dead things normally dead plants.

Answer 6

Like their nickname implies, algae eaters eat algae, making them valuable in aqauriums as an easy way to keep the tank cleaner.

Answer 7

They use photosynthesis like all plants.

Answer 8

yes.
