The scavenger fish is a heavy eater, especially as an adult. They will feed on some of the garbage in the tank, but sometimes it's not enough. Because if the fish tank is cleaner, they will lack food. In order to prevent them from starving to death, they need to be fed regularly. It can be fed mainly by plants, such as aquatic plants, algae and other foods. Don't feed too often, just two or three times a week.
How to prevent scavengers from starving to death and how often to feed them

1. how to prevent the scavenger from being starved to death

The scavenger fish is a kind of fish that we are all familiar with. They can clean the fish tank. Their appetite is relatively large, especially in the adult food. When breeding them, some breeders will not feed them directly, but let them feed themselves at the bottom of the tank, which may lead to their starvation. Although they can feed on some garbage, sometimes it is not enough. Moreover, if the tank is cleaner, there is less garbage, and even the side walls of the tank do not have algae, then their food will be insufficient.

In order to prevent them from starving to death, they still need to be fed regularly. Each feeding amount can be more, the residual food does not need to be cleaned up, and the scavenger fish can look for these food residues to eat when they are very hungry. They are omnivorous animals and do not have a high demand for food. When feeding at ordinary times, we can mainly feed plant foods, such as aquatic plants, algae and so on. Animal food can be less.

2. how often to feed the scavenger

Although it is necessary to feed the scavenger regularly during normal breeding, it is not necessary to feed it too frequently. In general, they can be fed two or three times a week. However, the amount of each feeding can be larger, because their appetite is still relatively large, feeding enough food can prevent them from starving to death. If there are more scavengers in the tank, more food will be needed, and feeding can be a little more frequent.
