Do algae eater wont move or is it dead?
If your algae eater is not moving, it could be resting or feeling stressed. Check the water parameters such as temperature, pH, and ammonia levels to ensure they are within the appropriate range. If the water conditions are suitable and the fish still doesn't move, gently nudge it to see if it reacts. If there is no response, it could be a sign that the fish is unwell or deceased.
