Let's explore the world of Golden Algae Eaters and discover their ideal water conditions, compatible tank mates, feeding habits, and essential care guidelines.

 Ideal Water Conditions:

✦Temperature: Maintain the water temperature between 72°F and 82°F (22°C - 28°C) for optimal health and activity.
✦pH Level: Keep the pH level slightly acidic to neutral, ideally between 6.5 and 7.5.
✦Water Hardness: Golden Algae Eaters prefer moderately hard water with a range of 8-12 dGH.
✦Efficient filtration, along with regular water changes, is important to maintain excellent water quality. 
 
Tank Mates:

✦Golden Algae Eaters are generally peaceful but can become aggressive towards their own species and fish with similar body shapes.
✦Avoid housing them with slow-moving or long-finned fish that may become targets for fin nipping.
✦Suitable tank mates include other peaceful community fish such as tetras, rasboras, danios, and gouramis.
✦Ensure the tank is spacious enough to accommodate the active swimming nature of the Golden Algae Eater.

 Feeding Habits:

✦Golden Algae Eaters are primarily herbivorous, with a special affinity for algae.
✦Offer them a varied diet consisting of high-quality sinking algae wafers and pellets.
✦Supplement their diet with blanched vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, or cucumber.
✦Feed them once or twice a day, providing an amount they can consume within a few minutes.
✦Monitor their feeding habits and adjust the quantity accordingly to prevent overfeeding.

 Care Requirements:

✦Provide a spacious aquarium of at least 30 gallons to accommodate the Golden Algae Eater's active swimming nature.
✦Decorate the tank with rocks, driftwood, and plants to create hiding spots and mimic their natural habitat.
✦Maintain excellent water quality through regular water changes (approximately 25% every 1-2 weeks) and efficient filtration.
✦Test the water parameters regularly to ensure they remain within the suitable range for the Golden Algae Eater.
✦Monitor their behavior for signs of stress, disease, or aggression, and promptly address any issues that arise.
✦Avoid sudden changes in water conditions, as they can be sensitive to fluctuations.
✦Handle them with care during maintenance, as they can be skittish and may jump out of the tank if startled.
