    The Siamese Algae Eater does have only one pair of Barbels on their mouth unlike the Siamese Flying Fox which has two sets (Four) another identifying factor when looking for the Siamese Algae Eater.

    Thank you for the valuable information in this video. I am realizing that I likely have the Flying Fox and not the Siamese Algae Eater. Live and learn!

    I was sold the Flying Fox instead of the Siamese Algae Eater? Wish I had seen this.

      @@rickybennett1192 I have never kept the two together. You should talk to a qualified fish distribution facility or read as much as you can about the two species.

    Are these also what they call Otto's?

      No and these are better! Otto’s are not very hardy and like a large school. Right now almost impossible to find. Good Luck!!!

    Best algae eaters I've ever had in a 75g...till they get over 3". Then the worst bullies, had to take back to the LFS. They were not Flying Fox or Chinese.

      They are very sensitive to lack of oxygenation.
      I have no filter, planted tanks.
      Noone of the tanks worked for them.
      I bought three, for more of the price i could buy a bamboo shrimp.
      In two days, all died.

    I refuse to watch any video when there is someone talking over music playing, it's most annoying, you do not need both.

    I love your content, but get rid of the repeating soft porn background music. Not only does it make it harder to hear you, but it's flat out annoying. Third video and I can't take anymore.
