Siamese Algae Eaters

[Travis32]

Who has them, and would you recommend them or should I get something else for my 75 FW community tank? This is NOT the Chinese Algae Eaters! My tank has Zebra Danios, Cory catfish, Rainbow fish, Dalmation Molly. I have plenty of room left, but just wanted to know if they're worth it, or should I just pick a different fish or more of the existing fish that I already have?

The siamese algae eaters are nice, currently i am more partial to reticulated flying foxes. I prefer the color pattern on them more and they are great for hair algae as well.

I have them in many tanks. They are eat a lot of hair algae. The only problem is that they eat too much! They can eat at the surface, middle and then scavenge what is left! They grow really fast, too. I had one half an inch that grew to two inches in a month! I heard they stop eating algae after they become adults but, none of mine have became that big yet.
