Kuhli loaches and cories are nice small bottom feeders

Hmm Ph is 6 ammonia is super low temperature goes from 77 to 79 i have a heater in the tank.

My Dojo Loach has been faking death by floating slowly to top of the tank. Once there he either lays on top of a fake plant or circles himself aroun thermometer. Is this okay or is he sick now he only goes to bottom to feed.

Also also in have been doing research on my gold dojo is it in a to small tank the description said i only needed a 10 gal. But i have been reading they can get up to 2 feet:blink:

????????????????????? :confused:Agressive mine seems the opposite of agressive the day i put him in he had a tough guy act then saw my big gold gourami and swam straight to the corner of the tank and hid.:lol: I have even seen my dojo laying on top of the algae eater when it rests on the bottom...

Hey it is me again i went to pet smart to get a pleco, they were sold out instead i bought a gold algae eater it is slightly agressive but does not seem to relentlesly chase fish. As to covering the sides of the tank to stop algae thats not a bad idea.

Wow nice color Your red tail looks really nice and healthy:) so do all the other fish

Thanks for all the advice

i know the algae comes from to much light the tank is right next to a window, i do not hve room to move the tank until i have finished my basement, less light. If any of you know where i could order a few ammanos that would be a real help if not i will stop by petsmart again tommorow and pick up...

Should i listen to the petsmart guy? The guy at pet smart said that the bristle nose plec would get 1' long:huh: he also said i have no more room in my tank to fit any other fish:confused: Was it even close to a valid coment?

Hey thanks for the help After reading your post i added some algacide (algae killer) does not seem to bother the plants or fish put waterfall on high to raise oxygen levels. i thought koi ate algae but they like eating my lillies instead:facepalm: i will try looking at those plecos you said...

Ok We have a japanese maple that has not grown big enough yet to cover the pond so i guess a pond awning is my next project:) Tahnk you

How would you recomend covering the pond with a tarp? Or mabye building a shade. Which would be the best choice of action.

I dont think so I am not the smartest aquarist in the world but i have never heard of a water change harming a fish, but i have also never heard of a water change getting rid of algae

Wow Dang that is a nice deal:eek: at my pet smart i bought 3 buenos ares tetras for 5.99 per fish
