Apprently this is not uncommon with CEA. Now I am completly confused I will post a photo here I have always called them SAE and had it confirmed they are. Please put this to rest what do I actually have. I have no camera at the moment and I can assure they are twice that size at least 3ins+ Keith Last edited by keithgh at 17-May-2005 23:52 Last edited by keithgh at 18-May-2005 00:01 Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Siamese algae eaters are supposedly quite peaceful fish, while CAEs are known to have attitudes. [link=http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Bottom%20Feeder%20Frenzy/58238.html]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Bottom%20Feeder%20Frenzy/58238.html" style="COLOR: #808080[/link] True Siamese algae eaters are much more difficult to find than the common CAEs, at least in the 'States. Are you sure that yours wasn't a CAE, Keith? It just sounds suspicious for a SAE to be acting aggressively. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Sir Books stated they are SAE Not been the best lately and not thinking clearly. I was not 100% sure apprently there is often a confusion.

I'd just never heard of these fish being evil before; just the CAEs. Again, sorry about the confusion. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir!
