crosso siamensis are by far the group speecie i had that dealt the better with ps.

they are also one of the only algae eaters that feed on black algae.

i strongly recommand them, very social and intelligent enough to survive in a predatory tank
 
Amazing how old are they and howed u get them so fearless? beautiful fish.. Theres one part that closeups on a P and he opens his mouth to bit and all his teeth are showing hahah pefect:headbang2
 
glad you like the vid!

as mentionned in the video, i fed them the same thing over a period of over 2 weeks, everyday.

at first, they were skittish as hell (like in the first try in the vid) but with time, they became excited when seeing me around, so i think they now associate me with feeding time!

not sure it would work for everyone, but the little experiment worked for me!
 
I obviously have a dumb sae, mine was the rhoms first victim cut him in half
 
Otocinclus works pretty well with algae and shoal together well, they are cheap too so if your p's snatch one off doesn't heart the wallet as bad. I've never see Crossocheilus siamensis on sale by me. how much do they go for?
