So just bought a bunch of panda loaches and going to set up a subtropical tank for them. Going to put them in a 20g high. Few questions about setting up the tank.
Should I bother with a heater or just constantly keep my water temp at about 70. Keep my apt between 68 and 72.
They do like a bit of water movement. Right now in a 10 with an aqua clear 20. At full they occasionally get blown about a bit. Is that ok for them. When I move them into the 20h would an aq 20 and an aq30 have enough water movement. Would a small Airstone help with extra 02
Their primary diet is algae. So going to put stones through out tank for it to grow on. Which type of rocks will not mess with ph and hardness?
Finally would like to know about tank mates. Prob want a school of white clouds. Any other peaceful fish that would work in that size and temp. Think I will also add some shrimp since they do well in slightly cooler temp.
Any other advice would be welcome
