Suitable food for Siamese Algae Eater?

[Shadow]

I got 1 SAE in my 2ft algae invested tank, it was 2 but one of them jump and dry up on the floor . It is doing very good job in cleaning the algae, except for brown algae. Now that the tank almost clean, what should I feed them once all algaes are gone?

SAE eat anything man.... any food you throw in, they will eat... dun need anything special for them... in fact there may be algae that you dun see, i do not think they will starve to death

I wonder if I should rotate it. I mean move it too other thank, stay there for a week to do algae cleaning and move it to other tank again

[wasabi8888]

you can but remember to acclimatize it before you dump it in... or else it will jump out...

[Shadow]

hmm maybe that the reason one of them jump out. another problem is how to catch them. I saw some post regarding this, need to do search.

You can supply their diet using Hikari - Algae wafer...

SAE basically eats any fish food that you throw in.

In no time, you will realize that their growth has increase tremendously. By then, I think the SAE will not be interested in algae anymore, rather focusing on fish food.

blood worm will be the best thing to feed them ,, just try you will see the results in 3 week , one thing , they grow very fast .

I' don't want them to grow fast

bro just a word of caution, once sae tasted real fish food, they wont touch algae. they'll become aggresive and eat like hell. haha.
