Siamese Algae Eater – A Natural Algae Controller for Planted Tanks

Keep unwanted algae under control while adding an active freshwater fish to your aquarium with the Siamese Algae Eater. Known for grazing on algae, including troublesome hair and black beard algae, it is a popular choice for planted aquariums and aquascapes.

Siamese Algae Eater Care Tips

Keep the fish in a fully cycled, mature aquarium with good filtration and adequate swimming space. Provide rocks, driftwood and other surfaces where natural algae and biofilm can develop.

Although they are excellent algae grazers, Siamese Algae Eaters should not rely exclusively on algae once the aquarium becomes clean. Supplement their diet with quality sinking foods and other suitable foods to maintain proper nutrition.

Choose tank mates carefully and avoid aggressive species. Provide open swimming areas along with planted and hardscape sections for grazing and exploration.
