Siamese algae eater
Ordered 3, one was doa. Haven't heard back just yet on it, but im sure it'll get worked out. The other were way smaller than i thought i was getting and havent seen them since i acclimated them ti the tank. Fingers crossed they'll show their faces when they get a little larger.

SAE in fighting shape
I ordered these guys to combat a black hair algae issue (my mistake) and it was to the point that I couldn’t rip out too many more plants without leaving my tank pretty bare. Straight away these little dudes got to work, unphased by their travel and ready to do battle with the BHA

SAE vs Flying Fox
Ordered a 3 SAE bundle. Got 3 Flying Foxes. Healthy, large and will work in the tank they're going to but not quite the same species as expected. Possible these fish are lumped in a group. Still would order again from here. FAST delivery, large and in good health.
