1) Is that dwarf botia? Dwerg being the flemish for dwarf? 'Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki'
3) is 'siamese algea eater'.

thanks all for the replies! im off to do some research now i know what im looking for!


ohh siamese algae eaters, are they the big ones??? or is that chinese?

Chinese algea eaters can reach 10", they also have a reputation of being aggressive as they mature and are often missold as community fish when young.

Siamese algea eaters reach around 6" and often mistaken for 'false siamese algea eaters' and also 'flying foxes' so you may end up with eater of these fish if its been incorrectly ID'd. This page should help you decide if you are unsure.
