AQUARIUM CARE: This large livebearer is a keen algae eater, and if you can track it down will do a great job of keeping your tank algae-free. Furthermore it will eat duckweed – an invasive surface plant that plagues many a fishtank. They are relatively simple to keep, thriving in most water conditions. Although ost foods are accepted, a vegetable component to the diet is highly desireable.
