Description

Algae eaters are special aquarium fish and invertebrates that help keep tanks clean by feeding on algae growth on glass, plants, and decorations. They are nature’s “cleaning crew”, reducing the need for frequent tank cleaning. Popular algae eaters include fish like Siamese Algae Eaters, Chinese Algae Eaters, Plecos, and invertebrates like snails and shrimps.
