| Would a chinese algae eater be able to live in a small sump if good care was taken? | |

| I think one would do good in a sump by himself in a sump. I;ve had them in the past and they always get aggressive as they get larger. | |

| The algae eater will most likely live in the filter. Very hardy fish., and yes they tend to be agressive as they get older. | |

| My buddy has one in his Koi pond. It got down in the low 20's last week and he said the algae eater survived. I was quite surprised. Very tough fish! | |
