The look-a-like fish (such as the Chinese algae eater and the flying fox) are meaner than the true SAE, and are not nearly as skilled at eating algae. But yes, the two fish will get along just fine. Red tailed sharks tend to be peaceful except with other sharks, and Siamese algae eaters are peace-loving as well. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Sometimes they are as sweet as can be, but you can get others that will try to kill anything in the tank. It will also help if you have a large enough tank for the RTBS to have its territory. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

I find with mine as they get fed so well they do not eat the algea much at all.
