OK,
Everyone has heard that the Siamese Algea Eater is the best Algae eater there is. But I never knew what a cool little schoaler it is. Right now I have 7, and I would buy more in a second if I find them. Ideally I want a dozen or more, at least 6 in each tank. Anyway, they are totally non-agressive, and work in an amazing little schoal when they're on the move. And they are just fun to watch. But this morning, when the first of my lights came on and I went to do a quick check of things, I saw this, and almost lost it laughing. I also quickly grabbed the camera and snapped off 4 pics before they moved, and luckily one of them came out. Oh, and before anyone asks, the leaf in the pic is from a Banana plant and is about 3 inches in diameter.

You guys tell me, are they SAE's or Sardines?? hehehe

Actually they're a bit more silvery, the lights make them look pinkish. But I've noticed when they're feeding around the Java moss some will twirl around a piece, and when the light hits they're bellies (which is more or less white) they shimmer like a tiny rainbow trout! Believe me when I tell you they are quickly becoming one of my favorite species!
