visualkeirockstar 3 Posted February 8, 2015 What's a good algae eater for my goldfish tank? I have large goldfish. 6"-11" i want something to clean the back part of the tank. Thanks. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 5,668 Posted February 8, 2015 Nerite snails and bristlenose plecos are both compatible. They only eat certain algae though. Relying on a fish or snail to clean algae is not a guaranteed thing. How big is the tank it is going into? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmetzger72 6,976 Posted February 8, 2015 I've had much better results with Bristlenoses than with Nerites. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaCGold 1,691 Posted February 9, 2015 I have a Bristlenose pleco that keeps the algae, especially diatoms, at bay. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arctic Mama 3,602 Posted February 13, 2015 Yes, Ancistrus (the bristle nose) would be my vote as well. Very peaceful, fairly effective. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
