    I know liveaquaria had them listed before and I almost thought it was an injected balloon molly. I know they eat bba...other than that never had one.

    I had a group of those before. They were pretty lazy in the algae eating department. They were very pretty though. I think they got spoiled on flake food.

    I read that too.... Them and Siamese Algae Eaters are much alike in diets and preferences with it.

    Nah, I have the siamese algaes and though they like other food too...they are superb at munching the algae off the plant leaves.
