Siamese Algae Eater Care Guide
The Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus oblongus) is a beginner-level freshwater aquarium resident from Thailand, Malaysia. It reaches about 5.9 inches and should be kept in tanks of at least 30 gallons.
Keep water near pH 6.5-7.5, temperature 73-81F, and hardness 2-15 dH. Feed omnivore, sinking wafers, frozen food with 1-2 small feedings daily.
Siamese Algae Eaters spend most of their time near the substrate and usually ignore mid-water fish. Avoid sharp gravel and very aggressive tank mates.
