Best algae eater of the entire universe

[Hanuman]

This my friends, is the as the title says, the best algae (and more specifically BBA) eating fish of the entire galaxy, sorry, entire universe. Don't you dare to say it's not.
I present to you the silver flying fox (Crossocheilus reticulatus). 10 baht a piece (0.3cUSD) at the local market.

Always on the lookout for BBA eaters but I think these are a bit too big for my tank.

Yes they can grow to a good size. Biggest I have seen so far in an average aquarium is around 6/7cm but literature says it can grow up to 16cm.

10 baht!! 😮

They’re nice fish but like normal Siamese algae eaters they end up a fair size.

Yes probably the cheapest fish I know. They are from here so no wonder. They actually grow quite fast. I got them like 3 months ago. They were easily half the size at least one of them which seems to be the dominant one.
