Are These True Siamese Algae Eaters?

[Tsin21]

I'm a bit familiar with the general difference between adult SAE & flying fox, so when I saw these at the LFS last night, I didn't pass up the chance and got six of them. But the thing is, these are juveniles (about 1 inch) and the lfs owner told me that they are labeled flying fox in the shipping box (from Indonesia). Hopefully I made the right choice.
chromedome52 can you help me ID these fish.

Yes sae. Funny thing when I was a kid sae were called flying foxes. They were the Algae eater you wanted. Chinese algae eaters were referred to as sae and you didn’t want them.

PetCo carries them as Siamese Flying Fox. I think PetSmart does as well. Both get them from Segrest Farms.

Here in the states it’s changed. Why I don’t know. But thats why the wholesaler had them advertised as flying foxes. Probably came from overseas.

Easy to ID from the Indian Flying Fox (which won't be sold at Petco's)

Looks like SAE to me. For real flying foxes have color in their fins I believe.
