well, my Siamese Algae Eaters are starting to get beefy...but they are still pretty young. Plus i try not to feed them too much fatty/other food so that they are still hungery and eat the algae...otherwise they will pretty much ignore it.

Click to expand...

IME they will become aggressive to anything of a similar shape and size that occupies the lower regions of the tank.

If they begin to fight eachother, i will remove one. The loach can hold his own and the pictus cat would kick their butts so there should be no prob.

My SAE's are soon going into a bigger tank but they are cool fish to keep. IN a Big Tank. They only get angry at eachother and not any other fish. They don't fight like Bettas or anything but they sought of bop eachother with their noses. IMO they are cool fish to keep and add life to your tank but make sure its big enough so that they don't keep on crahing in to eachother
