Herbivores
Herbivores require a diet of all, or mostely, vegetable matter. True herbivores do not have a large stomach, and therefore must eat more frequently. These fish are primarily vegetarian, and should be fed accordingly.
Herbivores: Many herbivorous species such as plecs and rasping fish have a large elongated gut, with barely any stomach at all.
Herbivores, such as Plecos, African Cichlids, Pacus, and Silver Dollars, are plant eaters. They do well with staple flake foods and algae wafers. They can also be supplemented with finely chopped lettuce, spinach, zucchini, or green peas.
Herbivore: Animal whose diet consists only of vegetable matter.
Heritable Character: A morphological character whose given state can be explained partially in terms of the genotype of the individual.
herbivore - Animals whose diet consists mainly of vegetable matter.
hydrometer - A device used to measure salinity of water.
ich - A very common parasitic disease characterized by white salt-like specks all over the fish.
Herbivore
Animal that consumes vegetable and decayed organic matter as the principle constituent of diet

Herbivore: An animal that eats plants. Herbivores such as snails and tangs are an important part of a reef tank because they help keep algae under control.
Herbivore - One that eats mainly or only vegetable foods.
Hitech - Aquariums that make use of sophisticated equipment and acessories.
herbivore
Organism that eats only vegetation. Aquatic herbivores usually subsist on algae, aquatic plants, and seaweed.
Feeding Herbivores
Herbivores are grazers. Whether they are fed regularly or not, they will nip at anything that slightly resembles a plant or a patch of algae.
Herbivore - include a vegetable component in the diet.
Sexing
The sexes are identical in colour, but males have larger egg-spots and longer ventral fins.
Herbivores
Plant eaters or algae grazers.
Omnivores
These fish are both Carnivorous and Herbivorous.
Herbivores usually feed on underwater vegetation consisting of plant plankton, micro and macro algae, as well as detritus.
There are phytoplanktivores that also pick, suck, or filter plankton.
Herbivore - An animal that eats plants.
Hermatypic - Organisms that contain Zooxanthellae.
Hermaphrodite - An animal which is both a male and female.
Herbivores like the sea urchin can help keep algae in check, but may mask that nutrient levels are high.
Feed Herbivore foods. Sinking are best.
Sexing and breeding are not known.

A useful herbivore in an aquarium with algae, the Trinidad Plecostomus will keep algae under control under normal tank conditions. If no algae are present, supplement with algae wafers and other herbivore preparations.
They are herbivores and, therefore, need algae. They also like supplementation of their diet with lettuce, for instance "romaine" lettuce.
Diet: Herbivore - feed green vegetables and flake/pellets with spirulina
Temperment: Moderately aggressive
Common Diseases: Malawi bloat - caused by too much fat and protein in diet.

Diet: Naturally Herbivore, eats plants (will eat smallfish or shrimp)

Flakes for adult herbivores.
Some aquarists do not hesitate to give their residents trout food, which they buy at fish farms.
However, the amateur experience is that what I believe you refer to as algal turfs are undesirable, though I believe that when a hobbyist refers to 'no algal growth' what is really meant is 'growth that is kept closely cropped by herbivores'.
That is not to say that plant protein is not important to the omnivores or herbivores. But IT IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF PROTEIN and must be supplied in the form of plant protein. There are a number of different plant flake foods that supply this.
If you choose to include fish that are herbivores, be sure not to have any live plants in your tank, as your new fish will be more than happy to eat them. You may also include tropical fish species that help in regulating tank life.
Herbivore- Feed frozen preparations containing algae, live macro algae, and chopped meaty foods. Freeze dried algae sheets should be made available daily.
Size
Grows to a maximum size of near 14''.
Care and feeding: The Auratus or Golden Mbuna is primarily an herbivore, so may eat any plant you put in the tank. They need to be fed small meals of dry, fresh and frozen foods that are rich in vegetable matter several times a day.
Fish are usually divided into four eating groups: carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, and limnivores.
Carnivores are meat-eating fish which are usually predatory by nature.
Some fish only eat plants (herbivores) and others only eat animals (carnivores), but the majority of aquarium fish eat both plants and animals (omnivores).
For example, herbivores feed primarily on plants and algae, whereas omnivores enjoy a diverse diet including both animal and vegetable matter.
Labidochromis Caeruleus are Mbuna and Mbuna need vegetables (herbivores) while other Cichlids mainly feed in high protein, frozen and even live foods (omnivores, carnivores or piscivores).
African Cichlids are primarily herbivores (vegetarian), but are extremely aggressive. Even us so-called "experts" have a tendency to get a little anthropomorphic about our fish, by attributing human characteristics to our finned little buddies (see .
Bettas are carnivores; they eat meat, not herbivores, which eat plants/vegetables. Jesse Dabbs of Superpets in Wildwood knows first hand the consequences of what has been told to customers about feeding/not feeding Bettas in a Vase.
(It's ok to feed some of the macroalgae to herbivore fish if you are replacing regular feedings rather than adding to regular feedings.) If you do not prune and remove, than no nitrates will be exported in the long run, ...
They are primarily herbivores, consuming aquatic plants and submerged terrestrial plants, as well as filamentous algae. Tinfoil Barbs can and do supplement their diet in the wild with insects, worms, crustaceans, and even small fish.
They are mainly herbivores, but will also eat small fish, insects, and meat on fishing lures[1] (see omnivorous). Their teeth, which may resemble human teeth, are used to cut through vegetation and crush seeds that fall into the water.
Many fish will graze a little on live plants and algae growing in your aquarium, but some herbivores will voraciously eat any live plants you put in the tank.
The silver dollar is a herbivore that requires a diet high in vegetable matter, including any of the commercial Spirulina- and vegetable-based frozen, freeze-dried and flake foods.
Herbivores and omnivores will love nearly any vegetable you can think of. The harder vegetables should be softened a bit by parboiling them (get some water boiling, take it off the heat and drop the vegetables in).
One way to control their population is by using herbivores (plant eating species of animals). Small tangs, and many species of sea urchins are excellent ways to control their growth. Astrea snails and Blue Leg Hermit crabs can be a great help.
Peaceful by nature, the Hi Fin Banded Shark is omnivorous, but leans toward the herbivore side of this category, feeding on benthic (bottom-dwelling) invertebrates and rasp algae growing on rocks and logs.
Identify feeding requirements of species kept (herbivores, omnivores, etc.).
2.
A few species of Cladocera are predacious but most are herbivores or detritivores.
Remember that tangs and other herbivores need more greens in their diet.
You can also feed live phytoplankton directly to your tank for
certain corals and for the featherduster worms, clams and other filter feeders.
A tank containing urchins or other herbivores that doesn't have a lot of algae should be fed dried algae at the same frequency.
This fish is more interested in the contents of algae and mulm than the debris itself as it hasn't the rasping teeth of an out-and-out herbivore or the specialised dentition of a meat scavenger.
As a corollary, anyone who keeps Pacus will find this plant is actually capable of keeping up with the appetites of even fairly large specimens if grown in a separate aquarium for the purpose of feeding herbivores - an indication of just how ...
