Hello,
I have always only ever kept Amazonian biotope tanks. This year I thought I would give the Asian Biotope a try. So, I set up my Asian tank and am now in the process of populating it. I have 9 rasbora harlequin, 3 trichogaster ( 1 male and 2 female ), 2 clown loach and one skunk loach ..... so far ..... .
However, my question concerns an Asian equivalent of the wonderful Corydoras ....... what is the Asian version of this fish which does not get too big .... ? I know certain cats like the pangassius are scavengers, but I am looking for smaller fish. The loaches scavenge but selectively - after snails, not like the Cory that scavenges everything. I would be looking to get a small group of about 4 or 5 individuals for my 120 lit tank.
I would also be interested to find a reliable algae eating fish species for this tank .... same criteria, a species that does not outgrow my 120 lit setup.
Any ideas ?? Thank you in advance
