Siamese Algae Eaters vs Algae Bloom: Did They Save the Tank?
Our Nature Style Aquarium, built by Takayuki Fukada, faced a serious algae bloom. Hydrogen peroxide damaged some of the moss, so we added 15 Siamese Algae Eaters along with Otocinclus and waited a week to see the results.
In this guide, we’ll cover:
-
The results of introducing Siamese Algae Eaters
-
What makes them effective algae eaters — and which algae they won’t touch
-
Their natural origin, appearance, and behaviour in the wild and aquarium
-
Tank setup and water parameter requirements
-
Diet, feeding quirks, and how long they’ll really eat algae
-
Tankmates, compatibility, and common mistakes to avoid
