Hi guys... need a little clarification...
Please
1. describe SIAMESE ALGAE EATER and FALSE SIAMESE ALGA EATER (peaceful?, both eat algae? same size?, etc).
2. FLYING FOX is refer to which, TRUE or FALSE SIAMESE?
3. How to differentiate them,

I read few article, but the more i read, the more blur i go. As some article really mix them up by the name...haissss

SAE is a little bit aggressive , will chase fish sometimes.

At here black line flying fox is refer to SAE.

The black line on SAE body will blend into their tail abit.

SAE looks more nicer.

How much does a solenoid cost these days? I think mine spoilt already.

for more information about differentiate with SAE & Flying Fox

http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/cyprinid.html

or

http://www.thekrib.com/Fish/Algae-Eaters/

Here is some tips for different them:
1. SAE has a black line in middle of body, which will extend into it's tail fin.
Adult SAE will has a brighter body color compare to flying fox

2. Flying fox ALSO has a black line which extend to it's tail fin. Adult flying fox will has a yellowish body compare to SAE. The problem is, when they are young, they looks the same!
Well I read about some article that teach to diff them. But unfortunate i can't identify my flying fox and SAE

3. chinese algea eater. This fish is similar to flying fox/SAE. the diff is it has a black line on it's body, which WILL NOT extend into tail fins. They are much more active than other 2 brothers

Hope this will clear your doubts a bit

Get true SAE, false ones will make you regret...

Real one will make your REGRET also when they growth up.

Believe me. You can't diff SAE and flying fox when they are only 1inch long (that is usually the fish size sold by LFS)

are both eat green algae effectively?
both easy to take care?

You need to add snail to solve the green algae issue.

If SAE Or flying fox start eating your moss, it is time to find younger ones to replace
Normally I change my SAE once it reach 2 inches

Bought 7 cherry shrimp with only 1 is very red after put in the tank for 1 week. The other 6 is just normal red......
