Chinese algae eaters you never want to get. I have one and regret it. I had two actualy but I managed to give the other one away to a LFS. The reason being is they will attack other fish and sometimes will attach themselves to the fish and basicly suck on em. Not a good thing. You can tell a real Siamesis by the black line that runs down the side. If it goes all the way through the tail fin. Its good. and if its a golden colour.. its good. Otherwise its a fake.
