I am currenly still in the process of stocking my 38Gal tank and would
like to add a Siamese Algae Eater / Siamese Flying Fox. But I am
concerned that the 3 platy fry I have might be agressed/eaten. The fry are
about 1/2inch in size, still small but starting to school with the other
platies.

When would it be safe to add the Algae Eater?


Thanks in advance.


I wish SAEs were fry eaters. I have too many fry that live into
adulthood and my 75 gallon tank has 6 SAEs. But, then, the bottom of
my tank has heavy plant growth. I would suggest more than one SAE as
they tend to swarm together, even resting on Anubia leaves like
fairies.
