Chinese Algae Eater

[daemonis_cinxi]

I just recently got a Chinese Algae Eater from my LFS, and i was wondering if he can live in semi-brackish water like platies and guppies. I know that algae eaters dont have scales, so will it affect him in any way?

I only put in a tablespoon of rock salt after a 25% water change every 2-3 weeks.

I have a 10 gallon tank.

I tested my water at the LFS, and everything was fine also.

The CAE gets way too big for a 10g tank and they get more aggro when they get older and sometimes go after other fish.

I wouldn't recommend your setup.

I know that they get too big for a 10 gallon, and that they get aggressive, but can they live in semi-brackish water?

No.
