Siamese Algae Eaters are amazing ! They love searching for algae and food, and are very interactive with plants. Highly recommend to any aquarium. Hark working fish with a really cool shark like look!

What can I say? Bought these guys another 6 in 2 weeks period. They are cute and eating algea!
And super fast delivery from McMerwe team as well.
Verified owner Surached Naklumpar (verified owner) –
First order from McMerwe, quick response and very fast. My 4 Siamese Algea Eaters arrived healthy even though the courier company took more than 30 hrs to deliver (was very worried)
Dripped acclimated the fish and off they went into the tank.. start eating algea.
Would recommend ?
