Otocinclus and siamese algae eater

I'm desperately looking for 1 or 2 otos and 1 siamese algae eater can't seem to find them anywhere been to 6 petshops and nothing. Please if anyone has any of them and is willing to sell them or atleast know where I can get some please let me know. Ill be willing to pick them in the pretoria or centurion area. Pls pm with any details thanks

 

Here in Potch we have a LFS with about 10 SAE in at R25 one, yes it is very expensive but I though I would mention it to you anyway.

 

Id be willing to pay that the distance is quite far though and dont want to ship. Thanks for the info.

 

IF you want I might be going up to JHB soon so if you can't find any I can buy them and bring them up to JHB and you can collect from me and just give me the cash for them.

 

Wow. Thanks a lot I trully appreciate the extent to which your going to help me but I have found a place yesterday that stocks them after much searching. But I must say thanks for the effort you were willing to make I really appreciate it

 

No worries, glad you found some.:top:

 

Hi Sniper

Did you find true siamese algae eaters in PTA ?
I am also looking for some , may i ask wich store ?

Thanks
Riaan

 

i don't think siamese fighting fish do good as algea eaters,rather try guppies or neon tetras (works for me).

 

Hi
Dasher not siamese fighters but algae eaters two completely different fish not even closely related

Riaan

 

okay,so they just come out of the same area but are different fish?

 

Ok, for those who are unclear....

Siamese Fighting fish (Betta Splendens)...



Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus siamensis)....



Hope that helps??
Cheers

I got Otocinclus at Exclusive Pets in Centurion and SAE at Pet Stop in Queenswood. But that was about a year ago. Some places should actually be able to order them for you.

Where did you find the SAE though?
