    I don't know anything about fish, but you'd probably want to keep the filter on all the time.

    I used to have fish.
    Mostly:


    They are great for lazy people like myself.
    Other than those, I don't really like fish.

    My brother threw the fish my recently departed aunt bought me against the bedroom wall with his overly chavvy friends.

    Expensive to handle?
    They didn't require a large tank, or even a filter.
    The only thing I hated was that the males were the ones that looked colorful, but you couldn't have more than 1 or they would fight to death.

    Just be sure to get the correct size of filter for your tank and not one that is too powerful. If you get an oversized filter system, your tank can become too clean for the algae eater.

    Yes, the filter filters the water, not algae.
