Siamese algae eater
Scientific name: Crossocheilus siamensis
Where can I find these guys? I want young ones
-
They carry them at petsmart I'm pretty sure.
-
I was reading that they're usually mislabeled,
true SAE's are harder to find, the ones at most stores are usually Chinese Algae eaters and those don't eat black hair algae as well
-
Ah so it seems after a quick Google search looks like these are only breed through hormone injections so you won't be finding any small ones threw local breeders. Call fantastic fins I'm sure they could bring in the real deal for you.

We had flying foxes at the store I work at a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure if they're still there. I'll check on Saturday
-
I dont want flying foxes, I want SAE's

Those look cool, but reading they are agressive and nippy, kill tankmates etc.. have you had any?
-
Have 3 in a tank with electric yellows and Kribs. Along with a few other schooling fish. I've never seen any aggression with them. They are very peaceful in my tank.
-
Are those the same kind that eat the slim coat off fish at night? I've heard they are bad news.

That's got to be one of the weirdest things I've heard.
I've never heard that about them. The only aggression issues I've heard was in regards to spawning and I think that fairly general to just about any species.
-
I have heard all kinds of bad things regarding the commonly available Chinese Algae Eaters.
The Siamese Algae Eaters are supposed to be quite peaceful and nice additions to a community

I'm not talking about "algae eaters" I'm talking about American Flag Fish.

sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead but what about these:
are these the great planted community , peaceful black beard algae eating friends I seek or nasty Chinese slime coat sucking enemies?
-
These are the ones that I said we had at the store, they look similar to the sae, and keep the algae on the tank walls in check. we don't have very much hair algae, so I can't comment on that but they do a good job with the regular green and brown algae
-
"Siamensis, the confusions comes form the fish retailers, they called them flying foxes so we are covering our bases."
That was her response to my email asking her if they were foxes or SAE
Fantastic fins does have a couple and I'll have to check with Highland tropical.
Thanks for the tip
