Agreed.

In my opinion (almost) without a doubt, a Flying Fox.

Best explained in this brilliant article

Unless there is something I am missing on the photo, I'm 99.9% sure it's a flying fox with the other 0.1% being a true siamese algae eater. Without a doubt not a False SAE since the stripe continues into the tail and goes though the eye. On a False SAE thestripe begins at the eye and stops a the tail. The article Bloo sited is one I keep bookmarked for just these questions.

Yup, i agree. Not a false, quite surprised how many votes that got actually.
I'm sure its a flying fox... Because of the tail stripe, gold stripe and barbels...
Thanks to all voters and posters!

I would now change my vote if i could, looking at the data given then flying fox in the only one that carry's the back bar into the tail.

The true SAE does as well - just not as broad and bold.
