Street sweeper (details)
Scavenger fish swam around the bottom and sides of the fish tank. The place where it swims is particularly clean. Many people who have raised scavenger fish will find that the mouth of a street sweeper is like a vacuum cleaner, sucking all the fish droppings and green plants into their stomachs. That's because there is a bubble in its mouth, which can make it stay in the water for a longer time and make it eat more "food".
Scavenger fish is an omnivore, mainly eating algae at the bottom or surface of the tank, tiny zooplankton adsorbed in the tank, or floating fish food submerged in the tank. In addition, the sweeper also eats the feed of other fish such as earthworms, and also eats algae and moss on the fish tank. To put it simply, scavengers will eat all kinds of food except fish dung, and their diet is very miscellaneous. People often praise cleaners as the most loyal, reliable and conscientious "cleaners" in the aquarium.
When I grow up, the sweeper eats a lot, so I still have to feed it. The scavenger's bait can be mainly algae, but the feeding process also needs to feed live food. In the aquarium stage, they often adsorb on stones and glass to stabilize their bodies and suck algae, and also look for benthic animals, such as water worms. But don't mix with gentle or small fish. If it breeds in large quantities, it will devour other fish eggs and lead to the extinction of other fish.
Although the scavenger takes fish as the staple food, it is worth noting that the scavenger will definitely choose the feed in front of the feed, so when feeding the ornamental fish, pay attention to whether the scavenger grabs the food.
