Assuming that they were housed together in a reasonably sized tank that was furnished with adequate hiding spots, would the two be able to co-exist peacefully with one another? Or would the CAE relentlessly torment the SAE? Thanks in advance

I would think that they would be compatible but the Chinese might harm the Siamese if as you said adequate hiding and foraging places would be provided then maybe but the Chinese would need more room than the Siamese.
 
Is the bbinomial still Grynochelous aymonieri? I know I massacred the spelling there haha.

Those are some nasty little fish, they'd likely bully the siamese
 
Even if the tank were fairly large? And if the Chinese algae eater is simply too aggressive to co-exist with a Siamese one, are there other algae eating species that would be more capable of standing up to the former? Again, thanks
