Auratus

[charliecanskatesome]

Auratus are herbivourous but does this mean they will consume algae? I have one auratus in a 30 gallon and algae hasnt become a problem yet but if it does will my little friend help me clean my aquarium? I'm not experienced with african cichlids so i wouldn't know but i have had 1 oscar in a 55 for 2 years and sometimes it eats the pleco's lettuce and cucumber.

Auratus will graze the algae, but not enough to make a difference.

You know that in a 30 gallon tank you can't fit any more fish other then the single Auratus?
