Active algae cleaner and scavenger. Can become a pest through rapid reproduction but population naturally stabilises based on food availability. Excellent food source for puffer fish and assassin snails.

Algae, decaying plant matter, leftover fish food. Thrives on the waste in any established tank naturally.

Excellent biological filter and algae cleaner. Good indicator species for excess nutrients in the tank water.
