Siamese Algae Eaters have downturned mouths specially designed for eating hair algae, thread algae and black beard algae – the types that grow off surfaces rather than cling to them. They’re known for having a bigger appetite for algae when they’re younger and not quite big enough to compete with other fish for food. As they grow, however, they’ll develop a taste for algae wafers, sinking pellets, and just about any flake food you offer your other fish.
