Siamese Algae Eater

Well my SAE has just died and I only got him yesterday. On closer inspection the bottom quarter of its eyes are a blood red colour, anyone know what the problem could have been

I'm gutted now took me ages to find a supplier who stocks genuine SAE


Cheers.

Sorry to hear of your loss Scales.

They truly are very beautiful fishes with great temperaments. I know because I have two of these myself, and will hope do so for a good while yet.

Not an expert here, but it sounds like your SAE has had received a head injury of some kind. Who are the tankmates and how big is your tank?

Head injury god damn it, thats hit the nail on the head (no pun intended). When driving home we had a load of shopping in the car and a box fell on the bag the SAE was in, misses got an ear bashing in the car as she had packed it. I didn't think it had done any damage but obviously it did, damn I feel so guilty

Thanks kribsinvcrib

Looks like another 60 mile round trip to get another one this weekend.
