Siamese Algae Eater
Crossocheilus siamensis/SAE
The Siamese Algae Eater is a perfect addition for maintaining a natural and balanced aquarium environment. With its preference for flowing streams and biofilm-covered surfaces, it can help control algae growth while keeping your tank's ecosystem thriving. It thrives in environments with ample substrate and natural shelter, making it an excellent choice for any aquarist.
The Siamese Algae Eater thrives in flowing river-like tanks with a substrate of rocks, gravel, and water-worn boulders. Add roots and branches for hiding spots and shade. Hardy plant species like Microsorum, Bolbitis, or Anubias can be grown, and bright lighting promotes algae growth for grazing. Perfect for cohabitation with similar species.
As a species that naturally inhabits running waters, the Siamese Algae Eater requires pristine water for optimal thriving. To create this environment, use external filters, power heads, or similar equipment for a high level of dissolved oxygen and water movement.
The Siamese Algae Eater, also known as the Flying Fox, thrives on a balanced diet of Spirulina or other dried products, along with a generous amount of fresh vegetable matter. Make sure to provide shelled peas, blanched courgette, and spinach regularly for optimal health.
