Agile Cleaning Fish

For me, the Chinese Algae Eater is the best aquarium-cleaning fish that can be kept in a group. However, it is not uncommon for this fish to disturb its tankmates. This freshwater fish is quite agile and fast-moving. However, the Chinese Algae Eater can sometimes be aggressive and territorial as it grows up.

Pros and Cons Based on Reviews

  • The best natural cleaning fish
