Well it appears I was duped last night. I went one of my LFS to buy a few ottos, one because I hear they are good diatom eaters and two because I like the look of them. I found what appeared to be otto like and asked the assistant what it was. She told me it was a sucking loach. I specifically said to her "this is not a chinese algae eater is it" She saif, no it is a sucking loach, they really love brown algae. So I though what the heck, took it home only to find out that a CAE and a sucking loach are the same thing. So now I am scared I will come home one day to find one of my fave fish with half its scales missing. I am so annoyed.

Sorry about that. Unfortunetly LFS say anything as long as they make a sale. Cant you take it back?

Hello Wooza. If there is any way possible I would take it back as well. Personally I've never been fond of the CAE's since I had a bad experience with them years ago. They attached themselves to my Discus.
