Catfish Is The Best Tank Cleaner

I keep 2 small Suckermouth catfish in a reasonably large tank. This catfish is the best moss-eating fish that can keep the aquarium clean. This cleaning fish has a calm nature and adds beauty to the aquarium. Unfortunately, this fish can also disrupt the balance of the native ecosystem and damage the natural food chain.

Pros and Cons Based on Reviews

  • Peaceful
  • Best moss cleaner
  • Helps maintain cleanliness
  • Disrupt the balance of the ecosystem
  • Destroys the food chain
