I've found a website to buy the true SAE, but they're recommending 1 per
5g.
This seems a bit much to me... I've got a 155g planted aquarium, so that'd
be an awful lot of SAE's. Right now, I've got two chinese algae eaters, a
pl*co, some pearl gourami's, rosy barbs, rainbow fish, diamond tetras, a
few
mollies, and assorted small tetras. I'd like to get some SAE's and
possibly
transfer one of the Chinese guys over to a smaller tank, but do I really
need 31??



I have 5 in my 77g heavily planted tank along with 4 Otto's and some
livebearers and one large pleco. They do a reasonable job of keeping the
algae under control. The SAE's are only good when they are small. They
quickly adapt to flake food and won't touch the algae.
