HELP = I may have unintentionally adopted a Chinese algae eater!!Worried it may attack my weatherloach and goldfish.
I've just adopted an unwanted fish that was described as a Yellow Loach,It;s about 4in including tail, yellow orange with black eyes. Slightly thicker and less eel like than my weather loach.I adopted it thinking it was a yellow weatherloach and would be a good friend for my brown weatherloach. Google photo of yellow weather loach is nothing like it, worried it mAy be Chinese algae eater. Record of constantly attacking angelfish rang alarm bells
It's in with a weather loach, goldfish (moving to outdoor tank soon) and plec who get catfish pellets and fresh veg every day. I;m assuming it eats the same food ?
What species is it?
What does it eat?
Are they aggressive - will it kill my weatherloach and goldfish? (former owner got rid of it as he said it was attacking and killing angelfish)
