it all depends on how well u take care of your tank there most likley to live up to how long your fish live or up to 10 to 5 years
i think 10 or more years but i am not really sure
I have one that's currently 20 years old
i think the best is a albino algae eater is the best.
My neon tetras lived with a couple of algae eaters quite happily (I think. It was difficult to ask them).
Pleco - Suckermouth catfish , Siamese Algae Eater, Albino Algae Eater , Ancistrus - Bristlenose pleco ,Oto Catfish , Plecostomus ( Very aggressive and go well with Oscar ) All algae eaters go well with Oscars.
U won't to watch the baby once it happens if you have aggressive fish
Are you talking about a golden algae eater? If so then they will eat any algae that is in your tank which is the green stuff that gets on the walls and decorations and if you don't have much or any of that you can feed them algae wafers which are green flat disks that you should be able to get at any fish store.
The Pleco is of the Loricariidae family. The Chinese Algae Eater is of the Gyrinocheilidae family.

if an algae eater is dead than it will definitely not move anymore. The algae eater could also be alive and just resting. You can take a small stick and touch the algae eater to see if it will move.
It depends on what you are calling an "algae eater." A pleco is considered a scaleless fish. A Siamese or Chinese algae eater does have scales.
An algae eating species of any type isn't capable of eating all the algae in the tank. Your going to have to clean the tank yourself. The algae eater will from then on keep the algae levels in your tank down, but not totally.
Because when a Algae Eater becomes fully grown it likes to eat the slime coat off the other fish. ( NOT all Algae eaters though) for example the Chinese Algae Eater WILL eat the slime coat off the other fish when it is fully grown.
I suppose so
No.
Yes, I have had lots of experience with Oscars. One of mine died recently from a sickness. Algae eater fish are not dominant, in this case the Oscar does not take it as a threat and does not bother it. The answer to your question is yes, an Oscar can live with an algae eater fish.
