I believe that some of the 'cleaner' fish have very low bio loads! I currently have two corys and am getting 2 red finned otos. Would you consider these fish to have a low or normal bio load? Where do you find out about bio loads?

Was also wondering if anyone has a long finned German Blue Ram and does it need different care than a regular German Ram?:thanks:
 
Otos have a pretty light bio-load. With Corys it depends on the specific type, but most don't have very heavy bio-loads. German Rams have a heavier bioload than corys or otos, but obviously compared to bigger fish they would have a lighter bio-load. Long-finned GBR's don't have any different bioload than a normal one, since the long-finned is just a variety of the GBR. Their care needs are about the same, but be warned that the long-finned rams can be a bit more finicky.
