Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi everyone,
Ok I need some expert advise on Siamese algae eaters before I make my purchase. When researching I come up with Epalzeorhynchus siamensis and Crossocheilus siamensis both have seemingly identical looks and descriptions (ex. clear fins and a black lateral line running to end of tail) as well as most sites claiming they have the "Real" thing. So my question is simply, which one is the "real" workhorse when it comes to tank maintenance or are they both equally qualified for the job and how do I truly distinguish them?
