Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok, so I was browsing at a lfs for some algae eaters, and saw the coolest little fishies, hillstream/butterfly loaches. This store has amazingly healthy fish and great tanks.(a good store to buy from)So, I asked the "fish expert" if they eat algae and he said yes. so I asked him if they could be put into a tropical tank and he also said yes. So I bought two of them. When I got home I did some research on them and It says they are a coldwater species and don't do too well in tropical settings. (he lied!) So, I lowered the temperature to about 73 degrees, hoping they don't die. Is there anything else I can do to make this work? Or was it a bad idea buying them in the first place and should I give them away? Also, any information on them would be great.
