Most LFS can special order fish you just have to ask.
I have never ordered fish online but I am sure that are many www sites.

If you can't find it in your LFS, then you will more likely have to order it online. I always go to Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums for mine. its one of the biggest online fish stores. you will want to buy alot all at once otherwise you will be paying 40 dollars in shipping for a $7 fish lol.

and heres the link to that fish you're looking for: Tropical Fish for Freshwater Aquariums:Siamese Algae Eater

You can also search aquabid.com for the fish too.Usually you will get younger fish by going through a breeder.

As stated you simply need to ask the LFS. They are going to carry what sells best, not what IS best. They may not even know they exist or why they are better.

Big Al's in London ON did have some. By the time I got in there they sold them. They can get them in. I just didn't want to wait. So I didn't order them. Isn't there a big al's closer to you?

LOL I wish I was closer to you then. You are a bit of a drive...LOL
There seems to be a shortage of SAE up here. Or there is no knowledge of them. That is why I got a golden and a chinese.
