    Hi folks,

    I went down to K&K lfs at Tampines to buy Oto but end up buying this fish. What's the name of this fish?



    It appears to have the same algae eating propensity. And so far haven't show any sign of interest in fish food other than cleaning my tank of algae []

    Thanks!
    Regards,

    that's because geocities aren't meant for linking pictures to
    if you want, rename the file as [filename].TXT, then use the img tag to show the pic
    it's a CAE alrite

    the LAE is the so-called amelanistic version of the CAE
    think of the LAE as the CAE without the pigmentation

    CAE is the same shape and design except that it is greyish in color and have some patterns on its body..
