false SAEs



I, too, have accidentally ended up with the SAE
look-alike that has the black stripe that stops at the
caudal fin.  When they were young, I had hoped that
they would change later; but they did not.  

The good news is that they act much like true SAEs
(which is good, since I cannot catch them to remove
them), with whom they share quarters; they glide over
the plant leaves, presumable eating algae and other
stuff on the leaves. I can't say if they eat red algae or
not since I've never had it (knock on wood, since I
have had every other type of algae known to
aquarists!).
