Pls help me identify this fish
CURRENT SIZE:
3 to 3.5-ish cm, almost the same size of my adult Silvertip Tetra but a little longer, currently living in my 20 gallon long aquarium tank.
BEHAVIOUR:
Its just chill on the rocks and sucks algae in my aquarium, it hides when a fish or I am nearby.
OTHER INFO:
Tried to google lens the fish based on the image I captured, it said that its an Cambodian Logsucker or Siamese Algae Eater (HIGHLY DOUBT, THEY DONT LOOK THE SAME).
Seller told me its a Siamese though, i only bought it for $1.62.

Looks like chinese algae eater
Chinese Algae Eater
Either way, SAE and CAE have similar behaviour, they need to be kept in large groups, they are gregorious, not really schooling, the name is also misleading since they only eat algae when young and opportunistically. They require a lot of space, specifically length! Get pretty big. They are very fast swimmers and can be highly aggressive and territorial if you don’t meet their requirements.
Eheheheehehehehe
