Crossocheilus reticulatus

About me: Hello, I am a silver algae eater and am a very peaceful animal. Even though I am so small, I originally come from the carp family! In a small school of seven animals I feel particularly well. Since I am vegetarian, the socialization with smaller fish is also no problem. If you have algae in your aquarium, I might be just the right fish for you! In an experiment, five of my species completely cleaned an entire aquarium of brush algae within two weeks. So you can tell I'm algae hungry!
