Would be interested to see people's opinions. Just bought a rio 180 myself, and I'm homing a mature CAE (5") in it. Looking for appropriate fish to go with it (I'll start my own thread )

Good luck!

lol, none. Very few fish can be kept with them as they start killing fish when they get bigger. and they get very large....

Oh dear, take the algae back to the shop, it's a CAE, can get to 24" long and gets very aggressive when it's bigger.

thats not a chinese algae eater, weve got them at work (i work at a world of water) and it looks like something we sell as a burmese sucking loach, which were new to me when i first saw them but by all accounts it should be fine
i think CAEs arent too bad, you get the occasional phyco one, but generally they eat loads of algae during the 1st year or 2 of buying, then just grow large and mope around for the rest of their lives
