The loach is a kuhli loach, not sure if that's spelt right, I've had him for over a year and I bought him with another kuhli loach but he seemed to have either ate him or the other one just vanished! Would I need to buy more of the loaches?. Yea the gourmai is a pearl. The royal pleco is tiny at the moment and I knew I would eventually need a much larger aquarium for him he's my favourite fish and before he gets to big for my aquarium I'll have a much larger one, he seems to be quite shy and spends mostly all day in his cave and only comes out when the lights are out to eat cucumber or lettuce, is there anything I could do to make him less shy? I feed him algae wafers too but I put them into his cave so he gets to eat them without any other fish getting at them first. I was going to buy another baby pleco but I read that they fight and I don't want my royal pleco to get hurt, I want any colourfull fish that will get along and not fight with the fish I have. Thanks for your help
