Hi there. Looking for three or four TRUE Siamese algae eaters to help out with a nasty beard algae problem that's developing in one of my tanks (I'm told they're the only means of control). Have any in stock, or have any idea where I could get some? Thanks in advance...!!!

I've kept 'true' SAE's in my tanks for years. They seem to graze more on beard and other algae when they are young. Your better off w/ them being small.

Thanks a lot. I'll drive up on Saturday and check things out -- definitely pick up 4 of the SAE's, and maybe try a small group of the furcidens (although not a lot of experience with goodeids).

I noticed on your new stock list that you have a big group of German Blue Rams, too -- hopefully I can pick a nice pair while I'm there. Can't seem to find any decent ones here in RI.

Anyhow, thanks again...!!!
