The firemouths would be fine, but I wouldn’t put a Chinese algae eater in. They grow to about 9 inches, eventually they stop eating the algae, and usually become aggressive to other fish in the tank. But, if you end up with a breeding pair of firemouths, another fish in the tank may not be able to hold it’s own against them.
Feed the firemouths a variety of foods-flakes and/or pellets should be the main staple, vary it up with some spirulina flakes or veggie crisps, frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, frozen krill, cut up pieces of shrimp or fish fillets, other worms, etc. Any frozen food be sure to thaw first in a bowl with some tank water.
you can….i think the algae eater is great…..understanding that chinese algae eater are the best at what they do..and also understanding that at some point in 3-4 years there is a possibly that it can be aggressive and may need to be replaced…9in is the very large end most max out at 6in…
