Siamese Algae Eater

Post by jhd »

Can a single True Siamese Algae Eater (Crossochilus Siamensis) co-exist peacefully with a family of Otos in my 55g as per signature or should I have 2 SAE to have them chase each other and leave all the other fish alone.

I have no experience with SAE and I would like the opinion of people who have them, before I place SAE in the heavily planted tank. I understand that caching one would be a problem.
55 gal planted tank, very fine gravel
2 angels (pair),4 emerald catfish, 9 otos,1 cory sterbai, 3 clown loach 3 hatchets
temp 80 F, kh6 gh6 ph 7.8, CO2 yeast, amonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5
29 gal planted, sand, CO2 yeast
6 small rainbows, 2 cory trilineatus, 2 otos, 4 cory bilineatus, 1 true SAE
water as above

SAEs are not very territorial. You probably have them confused with CAEs.
They should do fine with your otos.
