Chinese algae eater

Can 2 Chinese algae eaters live in the same tank together?
Thanks

I have 2 in a 75g and they get a long just fine always hanging out together just be sure you have a large tank they can get 8 inches long

They would do great together! I love watching mine! They are such funny little creatures! I like having some in all my tanks because they eat and eat which makes a very clean tank . I also found this to be very informative:

How big of a tank do you have?

They grow massive, and IMO I would not keep them with your standard fish. I would try an oscar or some aggressive AC to keep them in check from eating their slime coats.

Oscars are still at risk. They are recommended for species-only tanks.

They need to be roughly the same size and grown together is preferred. They become rather territorial and are on the aggressive side.
