The long, narrow body shape of Siamese Algae Eater (scientific name: Crossocheilus siamensis) with one black stripe spread from head to tail is not the only feature that makes aquarists fall for this fish. Siamese Algae Eater, like its name, can help you clear almost any annoying algae emerging in your aquarium, from the easy to even the tough pesky black beard algae.
Siamese Algae Eater is an amazing species with lots of fascinating behaviors. Well-known for its active nature, it is not strange if you occasionally notice Siamese Algae Eater jump high. As such and in order not to let it jump out of your aquarium, you should have your aquarium covered well with a lid while keeping these species. Apart from that, Siamese Algae Eater is quite peaceful on most occasions. It can get along well with most larger shrimp such as Amano, Flower, Green Lace, and Vampire Shrimp. Nevertheless, it may easily show aggression toward dwarf shrimp and other very small invertebrates or those sharing similar-looking.
Siamese Algae Eater prefers being kept singly or in a group of no less than six. Doing so will help avoid harassment of subdominant specimens. Providing Siamese Algae Eater with enough space is also another helpful way to minimize its aggression.
