Chinese Algae Eaters are fast-moving, hardy fish that begin life as efficient algae grazers but may become territorial as they mature. Often misunderstood, they are best kept in larger tanks with robust tankmates and plenty of hiding places. Juveniles help control algae, but adults may switch to scavenging or harassing slower fish.
