Which Catfish are the best Algae eaters?

Which catfish are the best algae eaters?

Depends on tankmates and sizes. For my 100G, I have a pleco. However, if you have like a 10 or 20G, I'd suggest maybe cories. But for eating algae, plecos. Chinese/Siamese Algae eaters get aggressive, I've heard, but my albino dude does just fine in my tank.

I was thinking maybe a cory for my 10 gallon, should i?

Maybe two, but I'd be careful. Research different species and decide which ones are small and complement your fish.

ok

I bought a small pleco and the petland fish person said we can just exchange it when its too big. Cool.

Yeah, be careful. Some plecos can be pretty nasty, so keep an eye out to see if yours becomes a bully. You probably won't have a problem with it though.

lol, no mines a wimp, he always hides under his plasic rock. The fish eat HIS food.

What do you feed him? I would suggest a middle layer of fish for your tank. The Zebra Danios eat like pigs, I would assume But yeah, you need middle-dwelling fish to make sure all the food gets eaten. For feeding suggestions, I would say some flakes in the morning, and a small amount of bloodworms at night. Also, maybe 1/2 an algae disk for the pleco. Ever decide on the cories or not?

I am getting a few ausrtalian rainbows (i think they are middle fish) and instead of corys i got a new pleco. I have Hikari Algae wafers for the pleco, freeze-dried red grubs and some tropical flakes.

Those should work well. If you think that the two plecos can't eat one whole pellet, it's your call on if you should break it in half or not. Australian Rainbows will outgrow your tank, so be extra careful on what you decide to get. Your other foods should work well for the Zebras.=

lol, no i only have one pleco. I meant him when i said new one.

Oh, I thought you meant another one. I'd suggest 1/2 an algae disc a night in a tank like yours.

ok, if hey ever gets out from his rock. the other fish seems determined to eat the discs

Thats good that your fish are eating, though!

oh no worries there. They are all hungry buggers.

Good. If your fish are eating, that's a key sign that they are doing pretty well.
