Description

 The Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus siamensis) is a popular freshwater fish known for its algae-eating capabilities and active behavior. 

Color: The Siamese Algae Eater has a distinctive coloration with a light to medium brown or olive body, often featuring a horizontal black stripe running from the head to the base of the tail. The stripe is usually accompanied by smaller, irregular dark spots or bands along the sides.

Pattern: The fish’s body is elongated and somewhat compressed, with the prominent black stripe making it easy to identify. The fins are generally transparent or slightly tinted with the same coloration as the body.

Size: Siamese Algae Eaters typically grow to about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in length, though they can occasionally reach up to 8 inches (20 cm) in larger tanks.

Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 75 litres is recommended, but larger tanks are better for maintaining water quality and providing ample swimming space.

Water Parameters: They prefer a pH of 6.5-7.5, moderately hard to hard water (5-15 dGH), and a temperature range of 74-78°F (23-26°C). Consistent water quality and regular maintenance are crucial for their health.
