My experience is just the opposite- I've seen my otos happily stuck to a leaf in the direct flow from a powerhead quite often. Mine get all over the tank- low and high flow areas. I'd say it's fine as long as theres some part of the tank without much current, so they can take a rest if they want to.

I've used flubendazole on kubs, garra and otos without any sign of ill effects. Good luck.

Stunning fish. I really like the intensity of the colour, even if that colour is brown :)

Lovely fish Mick- I'd go with Jim's ID. None of mine are as finely reticulated as your second shot- that's a really pretty fish.

Les, my cheni will pick at bloodworm and brine shrimp, but they much prefer algae wafers and sinking pellets. I've been trying Ocean Nutrition sinkable wafers recently ...

Have you read this Dirk?

There are differences in body shape and colour as well, but they won't be easy to spot in small fish.

These are the best photos I have of my two biggest fry- they're over an inch now, but still ...

I've had my kubs over six months now. They're much fatter, but maybe half a centimetre longer at the most.

Looks great. For dithers white clouds would be my choice- they add a nice splash of colour and they're very entertaining fish.

Fantastic videos- that many clowns together is a really impressive sight. I had enough trouble today catching my barbs in a 3 foot tank- it must have been a nightmare in a tank that size.

New tank

A few weeks back my kubotai and garra tank developed a leak in one corner. Money's a bit short at the moment, but I managed to get hold of a drilled and divided 4 foot shop tank cheap. It's been a bit of a scramble trying to get it set up, and I still need to make a hood for it, but I moved the ...

I see the same behaviour with my kubotai, although not very often. There's never any damage done. You've been given very good advice above.
