Best Fish (Posted on 16/12/11)

Excellent fish great for eating hair algae. They were on the smaller side but they grow very fast so nothing to worry about. Going to order more soon.
P.S. make sure you keep the tank covered great jumpers it seems. (Posted on 1/11/11)

I have 3 of these fish and theyre entertaining to watch
they tend to stick together but when i feed them its interesting
watching them fight over the algae wafers
They get along with my neons very well and are great cleaners

These fish are amazing. we were disparing about the hair algae that covered so much anmd these fish have cleaned it all away.They are now in a second tank to do the same. Highly recommend them (Posted on 23/05/11)

Both of them arrived pale and skittish, but their stripes started coming back after putting the bag in the tank.
Hopefully they'll settle in well. (Posted on 12/05/11)

These fish are such a good addition to the aquarium, being very good cleaners eating loads of algae. they are also very peaceful and get along with all tank mates, great quality all arrived alive. definitely recommend them. (Posted on 5/05/11)

Great fish. they defiantly cleaned my tank of the alge. I had a huge problem so i did my research and bought six of them now my tank is looking alot better..

Not over rated. A very good community fish and can grow as big as 12cm yet at that size still very placid. they like to have a school of about 3 ot 4 but still do okay on there own. i find it very hard to breed them and rarely breed in captivity

Lively fish that squabbles with his own kind. In my opinion overrated as algae eaters unless minimal food is added to tank. This fish will greedily eat anything and neglect the algae. Bristlenoses in my opinion are more effective for algae control.
Excellent quality fish from live fish though. (Posted on 6/02/11)

he came very small and skinny but eats ALOT!! I play a game called "spot the flying Fox" cause he is very small but he is worth the 5$ you spend on him=) (Posted on 17/01/11)

i bought 3 came happy and healthy
livefish can i please buy some larger ones as they were so small they have dissapered. (Posted on 6/01/11)

An update.

The two that were eaten... well that's just tough luck.

One has managed to survive and is quite large now.

If they were sold larger they would survive better in my tank. (Posted on 29/12/10)

They were tiny when I got them, was worried another fish would eat them by accident. But they grew fast and turn into attractive and very efficient algae eaters. Two of them keep my 200L tank spotless and if I drop in some plants that do have algae on them from my other tank, they're onto it straight away and clean it up ridiculously fast without damaging leaves. Make sure you give them some zucchini to munch on :) (Posted on 20/11/10)

I just love these little guys! They keep your tank squeaky clean and are a nice addition to any tank.
They get along with all the fish in my tank and like to be in a group. Nice hardy fish and good "housekeepers" (Posted on 25/10/10)
