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.

Highland tropical usually has some.there awesome community fish, they don't bother anybody no matter how big or small and they keep hair algae in check.

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
