Chinese Algae Eater, Gyrinocheilus aymonieri
This fish is really camoflouged in this picture! The Chinese Algae Eater is kept mainly for their ability to keep the aquarium free of algae. Apparently they won't work in the cold, because if the temperature drops below 69 degrees they will stop eating algae. [eng] |
