Just wondering if a Flying Fox and a Siamese Algae Eater (SAE) are the
same fish?

Siamese Algae Eater, Crossocheilus siamensis (Smith, 1931).
Flying Fox, Epalzeorhynchus kalopterus (Bleeker, 1850)

Some sites and LFS call the SAE a Flying Fox. This site has a nice chart
to visually verify what you are buying.

Wow! you're right. That is a great site to distinguish the two (and
the false sae).

Thanks for sharing!
