The cleaner
Many aquarists will keep more than one scavenger in the aquarium to clean up the garbage in the aquarium. It turns out that the role of scavengers in the aquarium is not as mysterious as we think. They will also eat bait and will surprise other fish.
The fish body of the cleaner is semi-cylindrical, with wide sides and a shallow fork-shaped tail fin. Inferior mouth. The back is long, the abdomen is flat, and the pelvic fins are connected to form a circular fan-shaped sucker. From the ventral surface, it looks like a small Pipa fish, so it is also called Pipa fish. The body of the fish is dark brown and full of black freckles. Body length can reach 250 mm.
The healthy scavengers are all intact on the outside. The body is gray-black or light brown, with black and white markings on the surface. Its abdomen is flat, and its pelvic fins are connected to form a circular fan-shaped sucker. When choosing a scavenger, it is best to go to a professional and reputable aquarium store to buy it. You may also want to invite a professional to go with you to choose a stronger scavenger fish. Since scavenger fish like to stick to the walls of aquariums or aquatic plants to collect algae and moss, you can also check whether scavengers have this habit when choosing fish.
