Great looking tank!! Hey how do you like and what do you think about your panda loaches? I just bought one off of eBay and have the chance to buy more but don't know if they're worth the price tag

I love my 3 panda loaches! but if you have shrimp tank, they will come along and eat their food as well... (which they will sometimes use their tail and swipe shrimps to hand off the food)

they also eat dead snails too which IMHO is a nice thing!

So great to hear! Are they as finicky as all my research says they are?
 
How do you like those red nosed shrimp?

They look really cool! Never heard of them before though


Well they are great algae eaters!! I got them cause I had a outbreak of hair/thead algae... Got 6 of them and clear my tank in 3 days!
 
I'm having a hair algea problem right now too (atleast I think that's what it is!)

Are they pretty pricey? I'm assuming they are pretty rare...
Do you know what the scientific name for them is? I'd like to look them up if I can...I cant get over how cool they look!

Finicky?? Don't know about that?
They are hardy lil thing

I raise my ph from 5.1 to 6.2 by adding a rock in the tank and coral chips in my filter
And they are still here... ( in a period of a week slowly)

Hong Kong pricing is a lil different... They are roughly like less than us$3 a piece here

Scientific Name:
Caridina gracilirostris

See If u can find it where u are...

Note with all live animals... I acculturate them at least 2-3 hours before release them into the tank
(Yes maybe over kill)
 
Amazing tank.... I love it. Especially the the Panda Loaches. Very Pretty. Shrimp are great too... Amazing (y)
