In the excitement of making plans to set up your own aquarium system however, you may unwittingly neglect one very critical aspect that so many people often fail to take into consideration and that is the issue of cleanliness and sanitation. It is easy enough to overlook this crucial factor at the outset when faced with the prospect of owning your very own gleaming display of aquatic marine life. But you must keep in mind that when you do neglect the all-important aspect of cleanliness and sanitation, you do so at your own risk. For this is one of the most essential elements of a healthy and thriving aquarium and no other factor will play as large a part in making sure that the fish and various other aquatic plant and animal specimens in your aquarium are happy, healthy and able to provide you and your family enjoyment for as long as possible.

Of course all that is easier said than done. You only have to ask aquarium owners or better yet observe them when they are engaged in the cleaning and maintenance process of their aquariums to realize that it is no walk in the park. Once all the algae and other detritus accumulate along the glass sides of your aquarium, you will have no other alternative but to put in some time scrubbing them off, which will add up to some considerable elbow grease of that you can be sure. In the midst of all this toil, you may even start to doubt the value of owning an aquarium. Where is the relaxation in all this?

The answer to that lies in something--or some things rather--that you may not have expected: algae-eaters and bottom-feeders. These tremendously useful wonders of the water world have turned out to be the most helpful—albeit most unexpected—aids in your fight against grime and algae build up in your aquarium. As it turns out, the often-heard adage “Prevention is the best cure” is particularly appropriate when it comes to aquarium care and maintenance. For algae-eaters and bottom-feeders can help curb the growth of algae before it gets out of hand.

Your Aquarium's Maintenance Crew: Algae-eaters and Bottom-feeders

Scavengers—as these types of water creatures are collectively called—come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, from tiny crabs to medium size fish, all of which each serve a particular purpose and should be chosen based on their suitably to the task at hand. While many of these creatures’ sole purpose in life is to help control the growth of algae by feeding on it, some have also been known to attack smaller fish in aquariums so take care to choose only the appropriate size and type depending on the other denizens of your aquarium.
