ok i know the true SAE is very hard to find, but i think i found some very young flase SAE's in my lfs - are they reputable aglae eaters like the true SAE? i'm interested in the ones in my lfs because i heard that young SAE's are algae eating machines - so i'm wondering are false sae's just as voracious when it comes to eating algae? any help in distinguishing the difference between real sae and false sae is appreciated as well - all i've been able to find is that i guess on the real sae the black band on their bodies run through thier tail while on the false sae it stops where the tail begins - the one's i've found have a dark black stripe with the bronze coloring above and below the black stripe and the black stripe fades into the tail but it's not really clear whether or not the stripe extends into the actual tail - they also have a reddish and yellow tint to their top fin at the tip -
thanks for any help
