I one question: are you sure yours isn't a SAE? I once saw one of those nasty CAEs take down a full grown blue gourami in one of my dads tanks. a 50G is just big enough for one, and once they get about 8", they start eating fish and not algae IME.Cory Lover said:Hi,
I really like my four year old CAE. He is mostly peaceful and loves to hang out with my Cories! He really likes when the Cories whisker him! He (Icicle) was a little agressive for the first couple of years I had him, but since I got the Cories he is quite peaceful and rarely has a fight with my Convicts. Icicle still eats a lot of algae. I would only reccomend one of them per tank, because they are very terrotorial with their own species. Also he has never sucked on to a fish.
Overall one of my favourite fish I have ever had!

how big is it? a the four year mark he should be a whole 10-12" long.Cory Lover said:Hi fishcatch22,
I'm a 100% sure mine is a CAE. I guess mine is just a peaceful guy.
