Chinese Golden Algae Eater

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

The vibrant Chinese Golden Algae Eater (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri) is striking fish and it isn't just a beautiful golden addition; it's renowned for its appetite for various types of algae, helping to keep your tank glass, decorations, and plants looking pristine.

Their beautiful, almost luminous golden coloration adds a bright, eye-catching element and a touch of sunshine to any aquarium setup. This vibrant gold contrasts wonderfully with the deep greens of aquatic plants, the earthy tones of driftwood, and darker substrates, making them a standout inhabitant.

Chinese Golden Algae Eaters are well-regarded for their resilience and ability to adapt to a fairly wide range of stable freshwater tank conditions. This adaptability makes them a suitable choice for many aquarists, provided their core needs for space and water quality are met.
