Kieflow Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) I have 4 fairly new Siamese algae eaters in my 40 breeder, and I just watched 2 of them get into what looks like a little disagreement. They completely lost their stripes for about 3 minutes. Any thoughts on this? I always thought these fish were super peaceful. Last few seconds of the video show the other 2 chilling at the bottom scavenging and displaying dark stripes. I did clean my intake filter a few hours earlier and the water became cloudy from a bacteria bloom I’m thinking. First bloom I’ve had since setting up this tank a year ago.

Fish Folk Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Mine always do that when I stir substrate up or squeeze some bacteria from sponge filter. My guess is that these are males. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'm watching the first 30 seconds of the video wondering where are the SAEs? I had no idea that they could lose their stripe. I have 5 that don't seem to care what goes on around them. That might be because they have a variety of tankmates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
