Default Siamese Algae Eaters in Philadelphia

In article .com,
says...
The Hidden Reef has a bunch of young SAE's in, being sold under the
name "siamese flying fox". They're 1.29 each.

-Wes



If the black side stripe has smooth edges that does not go all the way
thru the tail and the fish has one pair of barbels it is a Flying Fox.

If the black side stripe has ragged edges that does go all the way thru
the tail and the fish has two pair of barbels it is a SAE.

There are other subtle differences in body and fin color.

They are very close cousins.
