More often than not they become aggressive.

 

[Plec123]

not to mention they develop a taste for the slime coating on their tankmates.

thats a CAE, my midas just killed mine. it picked a fight with tubby once too often. they latch onto fish, i noticed white patched on tubby's tail after a CAE attack. very aggressive.

I wouldn't do it. Like everyone's saying...Chinese Algae Eater, but they don't really eat algae when they get bigger. They rather suck on fish's slime coat as they mature.
