Stan Z Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Just a comment. I have a Chinese algae eater which had to be put in a separate tank because he was too aggressive toward the other fish. He did a great job with algae though. By comparison, my oto’s are slugs! I have three in my 20 gallon and they seem to spend a lot of time resting on my Amazon Swords. Cracks me up. I’d like them to have half the energy the Chinese guy has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that 1 CAE = 3 Siamese algae eaters work if that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the fish to whom the CAE is being aggressive to? Maybe remove them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Z Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 @TheSwissAquaristneon blue dwarf gouramis, the Cory cat, the oto’s. I have harlequin Rasboras but they’re too fast for him. In short, all of the other fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 CAE are none to be territorial when they get bigger you would be better putting him in a tank with cichlids or other fish that can hold there own I wouldn't add any more bottom dewelling fish it will more than likely cause more territorial disputes unless your getting a larger tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
