I saw some as labled Siamese algea eater (SAE / Crossocheilus siamensis) in my lfs. Having gathered some information on the true/false types, I'm not sure if the ones in my lfs are the true ones.

So the fish in my lfs has all common features of a SAE (color, pattern), except that the black horizontal stripe does not go all the way to the tip of the tail!

They r algae eaters tho, sticking ti the glass eating. I know there r other kinds, like CAE, false SAE, otos. R the fish in my lfs the another kind? Or just bcoz they r not grown up yet, so doesn't exibit the black-stripe-to-the-tip bit?
