I bought two algue eaters in the store about 2 weeks ago. One the guy told me was a chinese algue eater which it was and the other he didn't know. I have been trying since to find out what kind of algue eater it is. So far I haven't found anything that looks like it. It is small brown and looks like a stick. The nose is kind if long. For this reason I named him, or her, twiggy. The chinses aglue eater I named SS, standing for spastic spasm because it will be just sitting there and then it will fry around the tank like crazy. SS has calmed dowm a bit since I bought it but still does this. It also hides from me when I come near the tank. I read that when they are stressed or fearful their color turns lighter and SS has always had a light color except for when I first saw it in the store. Then only other fish I have in there is a black preg female molly and the other unidentified algue eater, which are both very peaceful. Maybe it needs more time to adjust.
