What Fish?

[tropicalisticism]

Just bought 2 "algae eaters" from my lfs, can you help me identify them please. Found out some get aggressive so am a bit worried.

Both look similar : About 1-1.5 inches long. Thin with black stripe running along their sides. One is golden coloured and the other kinda grey.

Will post pics below.

Cheers

Just from the description i can tell what they are.
They are ok at first when young, but they get very aggressive very fast. My friend had a fat 3 inch one and it killed an angelfish and at least ....3 tetras.
My uncle has a golden one in his tank right now and it has also killed some small fish and is constantly chasing his angelfish and sucking ther slime coat off.
Looks like he's going back to the stupid lfs down the road that sells them.
