If you want to clear the algae on the tank wall, you can raise some algae-eating fish, such as rat fish, gourami, scavenger, moss rat, black Mary, elf, silver carp, black-lined flying fox, Small monkeys, flying foxes and iridescent parrotfish, etc.
It should be noted that different fish have different requirements for water temperature and quality, so before preparing to raise them, you must ensure that they can adapt to the water body in the tank, and avoid fighting if they are mixed.
1. Elf fish Elf fish is one of the common ornamental fish.
It is very small, generally only 4-6 cm long. It has tan stripes running through the middle of the body. The stripes are brown above and yellow below.
It is native to South America and usually feeds on algae. It is a very good cleaning fish, but if there is a lack of algae, it will die easily.
2. Moss rat fish The moss rat has a relatively mixed diet and is easy to raise, but the water quality must be clean so that it can survive.
Its mouth is located on the lower part of the head and is shaped like a sucker. It can stick to rocks and eat moss and some leftover food at the bottom of the fish tank.
This kind of fish should generally not be kept in a tank with aquatic plants, otherwise it will knock over the aquatic plants.
3. Black-lined flying fox The black-lined flying fox is known as the king of algae-eating fish. It especially likes algae and filamentous algae.
Because it is timid by nature, do not raise it alone, otherwise it will hide and not show up.
This kind of fish can be mixed with some small fish. It should be noted that you should not feed it too much feed, otherwise it will cause it to be picky and stop eating algae.
4. Golden Beard Golden Beard is a special-shaped fish with a gentle temperament and can be mixed with other fish.
Because it likes to chew rotten wood, it is necessary to place a sunken wood in the tank.
This kind of fish can eat algae, and you should choose artificial feed containing algae for daily feeding. You can also feed it some brine shrimp and red bloodworms.
