Loaches Online Forum

Red algae caused due to lack of carbon dioxide in the water, which is really nasty and hangs in threads all over aquarium. It can be overcome with adding extra oxygen. But often a tank must be cleaned and restarted if it gets out of control.

Tank should be cleaned with usual soap or chemical residue. The process should be start with glass cleaning
on the inside with the help of algae pad. For this purpose algae scrapers should be used, from long handled
scrubbers to magnetic scrubbers.

The size 130 gallon is very good choice. It provide lot of space to different kind of fishes in the same tank.
As well as it is easy to clean because of its wide size. It provide great chances of growth and breeding to
fish.

Th clown loaches looks very amazing with their vivid orange and white markings. These clown
are very playful and highly sociable. Other types are also better but can't compete the clowns.

The 75 gallon tank is good for loaches up to some extent. But problem arises when its growth stage comes. Its growth is very
difficult in 75 gallon with lot of fishes. And it is difficult to change the tank at this stage. So it is better to start with big tank
or at least 90 gallon should be used.
