I have two fantail goldfish-- they're babies still, about three, maybe four inches long now, and I have just moved them to a new tank today. They had grown MUCH too big for the two-and-a-half gallon tank they were in. Previously, the tank needed to be cleaned about every four or five days, because of how clogged the smaller filter was getting, and how much waste was in the water. Algae would start to grow on the filter as well.
They are now in a ten gallon tank with a bigger, better filter, and everything seems to be going well so far. My fish are very healthy, and don't seem to have any problems, but it is a hassle for me to clean the tank so often, and I don't want them to have to be in such dirty water. I am wondering if maybe a suckerfish would be a good choice to keep the new tank clean ? I'm curious as to how much care a suckerfish would require, if any, and if it would be a good choice to buy one in this situation.
Any advice or information you could give me would be much appreciated c:
