Thanks Bob,
We don't seem to see the Siamese Algae Eater you mention round SW England in the Aquarist shops but we see loads of what we call Sucking Loaches which look very similar to your Chinese Algae Eater.

Chinease Algae Eaters are often dangerous to have in tanks with angels and
other slow moving fish. they will suck the slime off the fish. I will never have another one. -- Bob Alston bobalston9 AT aol DOT com "Ron Hagley" wrote in message ...

I have SAEs in 4 tanks, all community. I have seen them suck along the side of a fish, but the host fish has not even tried to get away. Nothing bad has happened. I do have a large angelfish in one of the tanks. I think I had a problem in a 10 gallon tank between a SAE and a Clown Loach. He is a runt and wasn't eating well. I noticed the SAEs bumping him. I moved the CL to my quarantine tank where he has flourished. In another 10 gallon I have a beautiful sail fin Platy male that seems intimidated by the SAE. None of the other fish have even a suspicion of conflict or injury. I am talking in all tanks 14 species, 140 fish and 20 SAEs. My tanks size 75 gal, 29, and 10. I enjoy the critters. In the 75 gallon tank, the largest grouping, they skim my arm and gather around my hand. They have little fear and I have touched them with my finger and cupped one in my hand. They will school and join with other schoolers. They do earn their name and attack the algae. |

Does your clown loach look something like this: http://www.geocities.com/pktechlizard/skinny.htm ? Very common. |
