True Siamese Algae Eater. Source: Aquarium Bred and Raised Estimated size at shipping: 1-3" Adult Size: around 4-5" Overview: In my experience, True Siamese Algae Eaters, often referred to as SAEs, are the best algae eating aquarium fish available. They do not stop eating algae as they grow like some plecos and Chinese algae eaters and flying foxes do and they don't get aggressive as adults like Chinese algae eaters do. These fish eat many kinds of algae and I've had them clear a 125 gallon planted aquarium choked with black beard, diatom, and string algae in a couple of weeks. Unless you have an army of them, SAEs are not great at cleaning glass... Bushynose Plecos and Nerite Snails are better at that. The SAEs specialize at getting algae out of the nooks and crannies in plants and hardscape. Setup Considerations:. Source: Dan's Fish stock list.
