I got this algae eater from the pet store a few days ago, but completely forgot to write downt he breed name, and I want to look up some information on it. But getting out to the pet store isn't so easy so I was wondering, do any of you fish people out there know what he's called? Here is a picture of him

It's not as noticeable in the picture but his belly is white, and at the moment he's about an inch long.

  3. thats a Chinese algae eater or CAE

    i am looking at mine right now as i write this so i am positive

    they grow large and aggressive so watch out

  4. Looks like a chinese algae eataer, I've added  a couple of informative websites in the source. Be careful, because as the fish will grow up it will become very aggressive, and most likely it will harass its tank mates. :(

  5. I agree with Maria. CAE's become aggressive in small tanks, they do better in bigger tanks.

    CAE's are not to be confused with SAE's because they are quite different in temperament and appearance,.
