Siamese algae eater or Algae eater/Sucking loach

[fishface33]

i bought one of these a few month ago and i can't figure out which one i got can anyone tell me the what thedifferance of these two fish is? they both look the same to me

A loach makes a sucking action and has a large mouth (sucker) with which it attaches to the glass. A SAE has barbs near its small mouth and a blackish stripe that runs the length of the fish.

I hope this helps to distinguish what you have got

Differentiating between the various species of Flying foxes and SAE look alikes is more difficult.

Unless you look here!
