This species is active and enjoys swimming throughout the tank, helping to keep the aquarium clean by consuming algae, detritus, and plant matter. While generally peaceful, Siamese Algae Eaters can be somewhat territorial, especially as they mature, so they are best kept with other peaceful, similarly sized fish. They thrive in well-planted tanks with a good flow of water, and their efficient algae-eating abilities make them a valuable addition to any aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"708\" class=\"\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"710\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"710\" data-end=\"788\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"788\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"732\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Community tanks with peaceful or semi-aggressive fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"825\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"825\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"813\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"860\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"860\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"850\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"886\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"886\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"876\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5-7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"929\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"929\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"917\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 or more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1004\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"1004\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"950\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; can become territorial, avoid fin-nippers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1028\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1028\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
