i noticed in the stores they say algae eaters grow up to 6-10 inches. ive never seen them any bigger then 2 inches or so. i had 3 of them awhile ago for about a year and they barley grew at all. do they really get that big?

i believe it would depend on which type of algea eater you bought. i have 2 chinese algea eaters and they are both about 4" long now. they're supposed to grow to 10"

No real idea about Chinese algae eaters, but I'd try to go for Siamese algae eaters if available, they are said to do a way better job on eating algae. They can be told apart from the Chinese ones by the black line that extends into the caudal fin. The Siamese one I once had (should have been a group though) grew to 6 inches, and had him for 9 years.
