About
Gyrinocheilus aymonieri Albino (Golden Chinese Algae Eater) is a striking gold form of the common Chinese Algae Eater. Effective algae grazer when young, but becomes more territorial and fish-mucus-feeding as it matures. Best in a species-specific setup when adult.
Care Guide
Temperature 24–28°C, pH 6.5–7.5. Feed algae wafers and vegetables. Can be aggressive to flat-bodied fish when mature. Keep singly or with robust tank mates as adult.
