Siamease Algae Eater gender

[upside-down catfish]

How do you tell the difference between a male Siamese algae eater and a female Siamese algae eater?

Good question!

I know I've researched to no avail. I've got three SAEs in my 55. I love them. They're very active and friendly. Mine graze all day long and munch flake food like crazy too.

Females are broader about the middle than males, especially when seen from above. But, unless you have a big group, would be hard to tell.
