spot tail algae eaters… they look amazing, are peaceful functional community fish…
I recently got 7 of them, that came in tiny, so I added them to my hillstream tank to grow out, they have settled in, and are playful, and curious as a panda garra… at least as fingerlings they are schooling… I’m surprised they are not more popular in the hobby, they are more interesting than most of the common algae eaters…
anyone else keeping them???
these are my fingerlings now…
this is a picture of an adult, and where I last acquired them…
