Información del producto

🐟 Gold Chinese Algae Eater (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri)

The Gold Chinese Algae Eater is a popular aquarium fish prized for its bright golden coloration and algae-eating habits, especially when young. While small juveniles are peaceful and hardworking cleaners, adults can become territorial and aggressive toward tankmates. Despite the name, this species is native to Southeast Asia, not China.

⚠️ Note: Often misunderstood as a lifelong algae cleaner, but adults can become territorial and aggressive—best kept with robust tankmates and in larger aquariums.
