Chinese Algae Eaters are docile until they get big. Once they get big they become carnivorous and kill other fish.
My experience with plecos is almost the same as the chinese algae eater. They get big and mean. But there are alternatives such as: (TRUE) Siamese Algae Eater, Otocinclus, Rubber lipped Pleco,
I have a spotted colombian pleco in my tank and no cichlid bothers him
I have one and he holds his own .. I have had pleco too and in my opinion the Chinese algae eater is the way to go.. The one I have is 3 inches ... He doesn't bother other fish but will stand his ground if others try and mess with him ...
Yes... Again in my opinion they are... I have 100+ lbs of holey rock and he is keeping clean... I have had a couple bristlenose plecos and the algae eater does a much better job.... I also think some plecos prefer drift wood... So for my set up the algae eater works the best... Good luck
