Yay!!! Finally found some REAL Siamese Algae Eaters!! - Aquarium Advice

Fruitbat · 01-14-2004, 10:02 PM

After a long and fruitless (no pun intended) quest through the hallowed halls of every fish store in the Dallas area I finally found some REAL Siamese Algae Eaters, Crossocheilus siamensis!!! I don't know how many Flying Foxes I've seen and passed up!

As soon as they were put in the tank they immediately went to work! Only problem is that they think they are Redtailed Rasboras, Rasbora borapetensis, because they're doing their best to school with them. Silly things! They're still little ones and they're destined to go in a larger tank as soon as I buy it and get it set up they way I want it.

Poor lil buggers; identity problems are such an issue

Mine tries to school with the Bloodfins. But he's doing one heckuva job on the blackbeard algae.

Glad you have them, I wouldn't do without them anymore, they are a plant keepers dream.
