HI guys
I have 3 borneo suckers I got from C328 and i read they eat algae, however, they dont seem to be eating some of the algae on the glass, so may i know what you guys feed your borneo sucker if you have them. thanks

bro how big is ur tank? if its one of those huge ones eg 4ft up u need about 5 or more L size suckers.

mine did a wonderful job of algae cleaning. until there was no more algae they starved and died off slowly

they are also very plant friendly unlike our plecos. borneo are the best algae eaters man

my question is not about clearing the algae it is about what borneo suckers eat as they do not seem to be eating the algae and are getting thinner.

thx for your answer

Hi Bros,

I used to have a few Borneo Suckers, but they all died after a few months. I've read that they prefer colder water.

What temperatures do you keep them in?
