Chinese Algae Eaters

[lookyloo]

Anybody got any pics of a chinese algae eater larger than 6" that they can post. I currently have two which one is at least 6". I'll tried and take a pic. They tend to hide alot.

I used to have two 5", but they got eaten.
At my LFS they have four 10"s

That golden looks pretty nice. Is it aggressive? I had one that almost killed my firemouth, and after that I feed it to my oscar.

Not overly aggressive. I tend to find mine are worse against less active fish that may try and occupy its own home territory (cave or plant that has been adopted as home). I currently only have one small standard CAE, about 3", and he is no bother in the 10x2x2 with any of the other fish. I would like to add some more though, as they are quite impressive looking fish when they get larger.

Yours looks really nice. Did it take a long time to get 8"?
