Siamese Algae Eater M

Bring a hard-working and peaceful cleaner to your aquarium with the Siamese Algae Eater M. This medium-sized fish is a staple in the freshwater hobby, known for its incredible appetite for algae. Its streamlined, silver-gray body features a distinct black horizontal stripe that runs from its head to its tail, giving it a classic and clean look. This active and engaging fish will spend its day tirelessly grazing on surfaces, keeping your tank looking pristine.

The Siamese Algae Eater is a peaceful and highly social fish. They thrive in groups of six or more and will get along well with most other community fish. What truly sets them apart is their reputation as one of the few species that will readily eat troublesome black beard algae, making them an invaluable member of your aquarium cleanup crew.

Diet

For their diet, Siamese Algae Eaters are omnivores. While they are renowned for their algae-eating habits, they should not rely on algae alone. Feed them a mix of high-quality vegetable flakes, sinking pellets, and spirulina as a staple. You can also supplement their diet with fresh vegetables like blanched zucchini or spinach. To ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients, occasionally offer small frozen or live foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp. A balanced diet will keep them healthy and motivated to keep your tank clean.
