I feed mine frozen bloodworms and Omega One veggy rounds and what ever they find in the gravel. They don't eat plants, they are more meat eaters.

Mine liked algae wafers, but only put a small peice in for them or you'll have a mess.
They loved blood worms and were fun to watch them skim across the top after them.
They also ate left over fish flakes and algae.

No not really. There is different kind that do a very good job,but I can't think of their name right now. It starts with a A.

Mine did, but just off the plants and decorations, not off the sides of the tank.
I don't think you should rely on algae as their main source of food.
