A globally popular fish due to its amazing algae-eating capabilities, the Siamese algae eater is a must-have fish for planted aquariums. Siamese algae eaters are essential clean-up crew members for well-planted tanks, ensuring that string and hair algae never get out of control. These fish are not exactly the most colourful fish and have earthy browns, silvers, and jet-black stripes from head to tail which gives them their characteristic look.

Excellent fish. Great for eating algaeExcellent fish great for eating hair algae. They were on the smaller side but they grow very fast so nothing to worry about. Going to order more soon.
P.S. make sure you keep the tank covered great jumpers it seems.Posted on

they tend to stick together but when i feed them its interesting
watching them fight over the algae wafers
They get along with my neons very well and are great cleaners

Arrived healthyBoth of them arrived pale and skittish, but their stripes started coming back after putting the bag in the tank.
Hopefully they'll settle in well.Posted on

Greqat fishGreat fish. they defiantly cleaned my tank of the alge. I had a huge problem so i did my research and bought six of them now my tank is looking alot better..
Not over rated. A very good community fish and can grow as big as 12cm yet at that size still very placid. they like to have a school of about 3 ot 4 but still do okay on there own. i find it very hard to breed them and rarely breed in captivity

good additionLively fish that squabbles with his own kind. In my opinion overrated as algae eaters unless minimal food is added to tank. This fish will greedily eat anything and neglect the algae. Bristlenoses in my opinion are more effective for algae control.
Excellent quality fish from live fish though.Posted on
