Albino Chinese Algae Eater
The Albino Chinese Algae Eater is a popular freshwater aquarium fish known for its distinctive appearance and ability to help keep tanks clean. As the name suggests, this fish is an albino variation of the Chinese Algae Eater and has a light pinkish-white body with a golden sheen.
In terms of size, Albino Chinese Algae Eaters typically grow to around 15-20 centimeters in length, although some may reach up to 30 centimeters in length if they are provided with adequate space and care. They prefer water temperatures between 22-26°C and a pH range of 6.5-7.5.
Albino Chinese Algae Eaters are primarily herbivores and feed on algae and other plant-based foods. They also eat small invertebrates and some types of fish food, but too much protein in their diet can lead to health issues. It's important to provide them with a varied diet that includes algae wafers, blanched vegetables such as zucchini and cucumber, and occasional live or frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms. With proper care and a healthy diet, Albino Chinese Algae Eaters can thrive and make a great addition to any community aquarium.
