Can i add a golden sucker fish or two?

Question

ok so i have 1 betta and 5 neon tetras. i haven't done any reaserch on golden sucker fish yet but they are so cute and i have a bit of algae. my snails died cuz it wasn't hard enough water because of the neons. i just got some more plants tho, so i will be getting more algae. thanks!!!

Answer 1

the golden sucker fish isn't a great idea,

they tend to be very aggressive to anything smaller than them.

also, they're not always that great at getting rid of the algae.  

Answer 2

i would try one watch them for a while and if they start fighting then pull the sucker help.

Answer 3

forget 1 inch per gallon for large fish.

those 'golden sucker fish' get 8 inches, turn highly agressive, stop eating algae, and start killing and eating fish.

Answer 4

How are your tetras with the betta?

What size tank do you have? Use the 1 in per gallon based on full-grown length.

If you have some room leftover, I say go for it.

The Bettas reaction is unpredictable though.
