SAE or Oto?

[laurenrocksth]

I bought three of these at a new LFS near me and was pretty confident that I had SAEs. Unfortunately, one died in QT and now I only have two.

Today I saw a thread in the photo gallery with an oto that looked very similar. What do you guys think?

Those are Siamese Algae Eaters! They eat hair

Otos don't look anything like SAEs - Flying Foxes - those are the ones that look like SAEs...

At a glance, yours look like SAEs to me.

they look like SAE's to me also. lucky find!!

flying foxes, which are similar as Squawkbert said, have a gold/orange line on their sides near the black line. your SAE's dont seem to have that line.

Looks like an SAE to me too. I have five of them.
