gagaforfish Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 ...Are a pain in the bum. I'm thinking about getting rid of mine and maybe getting a couple of little corydora? I liked the algae eaters at first, but they doubled in size and are getting slightly aggressive towards my fighter... They dont even really do much algae eating anymore... Any one else had similar problems??? As i am speaking my larger one is thrashing around and swimming around crazily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They grow to about 15cm. Too big for a 34L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishBen Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Yeah had a problem with 2 in a 90L tank attacking fellow fish. Had to remove everything from the tank to catch them, lmao. I've heard they do grow more aggressive as they get bigger and would advise replacing them with something a bit more useful and friendly! (albino cats!!)

Carlos & Siran Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 We've had no problems with ours so far, he's aprox 10cms and is in with a rainbow shark which just shouldn't work but so far*crossed fingers* has, he almost seems to be the peace maker as the shark has serious grumpy issues with our larger cheeky Krib, who swims circles around him and taunts him relentlessly. The GAE will give him a quick chase as if to say 'sort yourself out yah grumpy bugger' but that's as far as it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaforfish Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 They weren't even slightly aggressive before i added the fighter.. I think i might sell them... On the subject, one of mine is about 10cm and quite fat, while the other is about 3cm smaller and quite little? They are the same age and are fed the same, is it a gender thing??

nickh Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I had one in my 75L tank, it got to about 8cm then i had to get rid of it. I kept harassing my fighter, I have a GBA now which is a lot better at algae and is a lot more peaceful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 i got rid of mine as they were stopping the africans from breeding. they are aggressive, no doubt about that but did a great job of keeping the tanks sparkling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
