Scientific Name: Crossocheilus Siamensis Family: Cyprinid Temperature: 24-26C, 75-79F PH: 5.5-8.0 Size: 15cm, 6 inches Life Span: 10years breeding: Difficult Compatability: Community, best kept on groups of 3 or more for better social behavior. The Siamese Algae Eater comes from fast flowing water in Thailand and Malaysia. It is also know as the Siamese Flying Fox. It is commonly confused with Flying fox, the Otto, and the Chinese Algae Eater. The SAE has a distinctive black horizontal stripe running from it's head through it's laterline and into it's tail fin. The band is jagged along the edges. Below the horizontal band it is white and above the band it is a gray/brown with each scale in this area having a dark outline. The fins are Transparent or can have hints of red. Another distinctive feature are two small Barbels on it's nose. There are no apparent sexual differences. SAE's should be provided with lots of swimming space as they are very active. A strong flow to the water will help to produce a more native home for them. They will eat algae such as Hair Algae and red Algae, however their interest deminishes as they grow older. They will survive well on flake foods and Sinking Algae Tablets.

I put it in the profile you wrote out, It was easier to see the fish rather then search around for it
