My Flying Fox not bad at eating algae

[TKOS]

So I had to move my smaller flying fox into my 10 gallon for now as he was being beat up badly in the other tank. This tank has always had a bit of a black hair algae problem, but nothing I worried too much about. Well this guy has demolished all the black algae. And he is definatly not an SAE. Maybe he didn't get the memo about his kind being bad algae eater.

Same here, I have two in my 46g planted tank and they do a way better job than the true SAE. The true SAE I had before even ate some of my plants!

Do your two get along okay in that big of a tank?

Mine wouldn't in a 20 gallon, the small one was constantly harrassed so I had to move him to the 10. Hopefully I will get a bigger tank in the next few months or I will have to look for a new home for him. Of course he has already been adopted by the cories so I would hate to move him from his new family.
