Native to fast-flowing rivers and streams of Southeast Asia, this streamlined fish features a sleek silver body with a bold black stripe that runs from its snout through the tail, helping it blend in among rocks and vegetation. Unlike many other “algae eaters,” this species actively grazes on a wide variety of nuisance algae—including stubborn black beard algae (BBA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"624\" data-end=\"1033\"\u003eSiamese Algae Eaters are active, social, and non-aggressive, making them ideal for peaceful community tanks. They do best in groups, though they may become slightly territorial with their own kind as they mature. Their natural habitat includes soft substrate, driftwood, and plenty of plants or rocks to forage on. These fish are highly adaptable but thrive in well-oxygenated aquariums with moderate current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1474\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1049\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Easy\u003cbr data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1074\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e – Peaceful, active\u003cbr data-start=\"1093\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1096\" data-end=\"1104\"\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e – Up to 6 inches\u003cbr data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eTank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e – 30 gallons+\u003cbr data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1154\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1154\" data-end=\"1169\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e – 75°F to 79°F\u003cbr data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1187\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e – Omnivore (algae, wafers, blanched veggies, and protein-rich supplements)\u003cbr data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1279\"\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e – 6.5 to 7.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1295\"\u003e🌿 The Siamese Algae Eater is a reliable algae controller that combines functionality with grace, making it a practical and attractive addition to most peaceful freshwater setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1548\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eThis listing is for 1 Siamese Algae Eater – \u003cem data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1546\"\u003eCrossocheilus siamensis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46346473799902,"sku":"","price":6.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/IMG-1697.heic?v=1744065274","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/siamese-algae-eater","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
