Do Algae Eaters need proper fish food aswell as eating all the crap from the tank.?
there are many fish that are called algae eaters,they do eat algae but i know of none that survive on algae alone.in the wild they eat algae that is on rocks etc.but in the algae are minute live creatures which are consumed as well,i keep and breed algae eaters[bristle-nose catfish]etc, that need other foods to bring into condition to breed,these are fed bloodworm, daff,and a good flake food.they may survive on just algae but they won,t be in great condition on this alone. hope this is of help.
