Default Another algae question

SAE's grow quite big and would quickly outgrow a 2.5gall tank...it's
also quite difficult to get/identify true SAEs - I have 3, that were
sold to me as SAEs, which are actually Flying Foxes - dinky when I got
them but rapidly grew to between 2-3 inches and very fat :-)...they
sometimes eat algae still but not much of the time. A friend of mine was
sold 3 Flying Foxes that appear to be true SAEs (black marking going
through the tail) - these are around 4 inches and very fat...Both of us
have only had these fish for around 6 months - in both cases they grew
incredibly rapidly...
