    Anyone with any personal experience with Chinese Algae Eaters?

    I happened to buy two of them for my community tank when I went to buy Siamese Algae eaters from my LFS.
    I didnt realise that they are easily confused with one another and so accepted them as SAE's! I've now come to realise that they are not.
    They are happy enough in my tank and not bothering anyone, but they are still small and I dont want to find i have a problem with them later ?!?
    Has anyone had experience with adult CAE's in a community tank?

    Thanks :)

    Yes, well not totally adult. Got a juvie who did a good job and grew madly, then started to get real aggro toward the other fish, as I had read it might. I found it a new home. Some people never experience trouble, but many of us have, or seen it coming. Mine was absolutely fine when still small, but it grew so fast...

    just watch them carefully!
