There are many species of fish that are essentially herbivorous but they will still eat the occasional bit of live food. The ones that are only algae eaters are the main true herbivores and that includes the fish that have sucker like mouths for grating algae off things eg. Plecostomous sp. Some of the ones that are mainly herbivores are the Silver Dollars "Metynnis sp. who are close relations of the renowned carnivore the Piranha. The Mollys are also classed as vegetarians but they too will enjoy a meal of brine shrimp etc.

Dugongs and manatees are aquatic mammals that eat sea grass. Green sea turtles are mostly herbivorous, and primarily eat sea grass. Galapagos iguanas are also semi aquatic herbivores, but they eat algae that grows on rocks just offshore.

Examples of fish herbivores include blennies, surgeonfish (tangs), and bristletooth tangs. These fish primarily feed on algae and plant matter as their main source of nutrition.
