The Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus siamensis) is one of the most effective algae-eating fish available, renowned for its ability to consume tough algae types including black beard algae that most other fish ignore. An active, hardy species, they are a valuable addition to planted aquariums and community tanks alike.

Maureen One DOA, and another one didn't look too good on arrival and died 2 or 3 days later. The others are healthy and are doing well.
