Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Gold Marble Algae Eater will surely bring you some luck while it is stuck against the glass all day cleaning off the algae. They are a very efficient algae eater and will actively clean the glass, which means less cleaning for you. Provide lots of hiding spaces to help reduce their stress especially while they are acclimating to their new environment. They should be added to aquariums with driftwood and plants to help mimic their natural habitat. Even though they love eating algae that cannot be their only food source, so provide a varied diet of algae wafers. This Algae Eater is known for creating a territory and defending it against tank mates, which is why they are considered semi-aggressive.

- Care Level: Easy
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons
- Max Size: 10"
- Diet: Herbivore
- Provide an environment with plenty of rockwork, plants and driftwood

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
