- - I just answered my own question by visiting one of the referenced web
- - pages. "Do not confuse this fish [the SAE] with the Chinese Algae Eater,
- - which is very aggressive and does not eat algae." Mine definitely eats
- - algae, so it must be a SAE.
- -
- - Look at pictures of both. I'd bet $50 you did not get an SAE from
- - wal-mart. The SAE and CAE look completely different.

- - CAEs do eat some algae at first, but as they get older their preferred
- - snack becomes slime coat from other fishes. They also get territorial.
- - Also, for what it's worth, a 4" CAE is way too much fish for a 2.5 g in
- - the first place.
-
- Well, of course, it wasn't 4" to begin with! And I did move
- it to the 10 gallon tank.
-
- I'll repost the photo and let you look at it. URL will be in
- a different message.

Here are photos of my algae eater:
