The Siamese algae eater (Crossocheilus oblongus) is a species of cyprinid fish, a member of the carp family. This semi-benthic fish inhabits parts of Southeast Asia, including but not limited to the Chao Phraya basin and the Mekong River, as well as some areas in the Malay Peninsula. During the rainy season, it also extends its range to flooded forests. It isn't to be confused with its relatives the flying fox (Epalzeorhynchos kalopterus) or the false siamensis (Garra cambodgensis).
The Siamese algae eater has a horizontal black stripe from its head to its tail; it can fade to aid in camouflage. It is often kept as a pet in home aquaria, and is fairly hardy. It must be kept in a closed tank to prevent jumping, and needs a heater.
