Hobbyists of freshwater aquariums commonly add bottom feeder fish and algae eaters, such as catfish and plecostomus, to their tanks as a means of controlling excess algae growth and providing organic waste removal from the tank. Furthermore, these creatures act as scavengers by eating leftover fish food and other forms of organic debris that threaten its quality and could otherwise decrease over time.
Algae wafers are designed specifically to meet the nutritional needs of bottom feeders, typically fortified with additional vitamins. Some even contain spirulina and chorella algae for extra nutritional support.
