They are usually mistaken for flying foxes. I found a couple in a LFS by
just observing their markings. I'm sure most stores will have a couple they don't even know about. Go here http://www.thekrib.com/Fish/Algae-Eaters/ for a good description of these tykes. Remember..stripe goes from nose to the end of the tail. It has only clear fins and one set of barbels. It is also non aggressive. -- Dave Picklyk www.picklyk.com/aquascape "Christopher" wrote in message rthlink.net... anyone know of a location to get "the real" S.A.E.'s in Los Angeles or close vicinity? |

Don't let the label concern you. In my experience they are almost never
labeled as SAEs. The LFS likely will not know the difference. Take in a hard copy of the krib article when you go to be sure you are getting the right thing. Suggest you leave the printed article with the LFS to help educate them.

"Christopher" writes: been there before, actually where I normally shop, but what they had was labeled "flying foxes" I suggest you call and/or check again. He recently emailed a newsletter saying he had SAE's on sale through the end of March. Although they may no longer be on sale, they may at least still have some and should definitely know what they are. Erica http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/mitoem/mitoem/index.htm |

my LFS had them labeled as "siamensis shark".. so don't trust the label,
trust the markings. the following is far the best discriminator amongst the various cyprinid algae eaters and whatnot.. http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/cyprinid.html print it out and take it with you. once you know what you are looking for, it's not difficult to see what it is and isn't.. as dave mentioned, they have clear fins (no black streaks in the dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins), and the black lines on the side of the body extends all the way from the face through the tail fin... barbels are *tiny* so it may be hard to see to count... if you see any black lines or gold on the dorsal fin , it most likely is not SAE.. linda "Christopher" wrote in message rthlink.net... been there before, actually where I normally shop, but what they had was labeled "flying foxes" "E.

In article ink.net,
"Christopher" writes: been there before, actually where I normally shop, but what they had was labeled "flying foxes" Got an email reply from Mark SAE's: To answer you question, they are definitely C. Siamensis algae eaters. In the "trade" confusingly that is what they are commonly referred to. Sorry for the confusion, but that's pretty typical in this business.
