Herbivore
An animal that eats primary vegetable protein. Though it will eat animal protein occasionally.
Fish that subsist on a diet consisting only of vegetables are referred to as obligate herbivores.
Typical examples of popular herbivores are Mollies, Platies or Malawi Mbuna Cichlids.
- They eat plants, algae, and fruits.
- Hebivores typically have no stomach and just have a long intestine. This means they need to feed several times a day.
- See also Omnivore, Detritivore, Piscivore and Carnivore.
