One of the aspects that draws aquarists to the American Flagfish is its ruthless appetite for algae, and its algae-eating abilities surpass that of any pleco and even the Siamese Algae Eater.

A superb control for algal problems occurring at the middle and upper levels of the tank that are not frequented by Loricariids or Siamese Algae Eaters, these fishes will go to work on such algae and demolish it in short order. Possibly one of the best choices for a "beginner's killifish", if tankmates are chosen with appropriate care.
