Algae Eaters

Algae eaters are a diverse group of freshwater fish commonly used in aquariums to control algae growth. These species are known for their grazing habits, helping to keep the tank clean and free from unwanted algae buildup. Popular types of algae eaters include plecos, otocinclus, and siamese algae eaters, each offering unique benefits depending on tank size and setup. They thrive in community tanks and are compatible with a wide range of other species. Algae eaters are ideal for planted tanks, as they assist in maintaining the balance between plant growth and algae control.
