Explore Chinese Algae Eaters and their colour forms with adult size and territorial behaviour in mind before choosing a fish.
The named Chinese Algae Eater offers are forms of Gyrinocheilus aymonieri. Gold or black-gold colouring does not remove the need to plan for a large adult whose territorial behaviour can increase as it grows. Review companions carefully, including other bottom dwellers and larger resting fish that may be rasped.
Check a proposed companionCompare the size options as supplied sizes, then read the chosen listing’s adult housing and feeding advice. Young algae grazing is only part of the fish’s life: a varied diet, usable territory and access to food still matter later. The individual offers supply one fish per quantity; an extra quantity is not a recommendation to keep them together.
