I'm definitely NOT not talking about a CAE or SAE. I had a CAE and brought it back to the store because I was advised that he would get too aggressive as an adult and possibly murder my other fish so I bought this guy. I have a picture of him but don't want to go throught the trouble of getting...

I actually tried posting this in the Catfish forum but for some reason I don't have authorization to post there - I think maybe because I'm new. I purchased a sucker fish about a week ago and he's been eating regularly [I feed him sinking algae wafers] and he does what it seems he's suposed to...

Yes, I'm looking for one that'll help control algae. I got the CAE in the first place for that reason. If there are other 4-ish inch peaceful algae eaters out there, I would welcome recommendations.

oooh, I like him! :P

That CAE is going to be a B%#&H to capture - the darn thing is quick! Does antone have a pic of the clown pleco? I'm having trouble finding one on-line.

Oops, scratch that. THe NitrIte is 0 and NitrAte is 20-40.

Amonia: 0 Nitrate: 0 Nitrite: between 20 and 40 pH: I use bullseye 7.0 since my tap water is reading at 6.4

Yes, it's definitely a Chinese algae eater then. I find it odd that the store would say it gets to 5.5" and the research I did claims it can get to 10". I had my eye on a bristlenose plec - would this be OK instead? I definitely want an algae eater but only one that will get about 4 to 7"...

I just found a pic of the algae eater I have. If you go to this post: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=104773 and look at the FIRST reply to this person's question; it's the fish in the set of three pics at the bottom - the one on the left.

I have a 37 USG tank and I just finished stocking after 3 months of having it set up. I thought this would be OK but now I'm thinking twice: 5 - neon tetras 1 - female platy 1 - male swordtail 4 - white cloud danio 1 - algae eater that I was told would grow to 5.5" max - I can't remember what...
