Loach recommendation - Zebra or Yoyo loach or Other?

I'm looking for a loach recommendation. I have a 36g bowfront planted tank with lots of driftwood and rocks and hiding spots and small gravel (almost sand-like). I'd like to put in a fun loach with character.

I've had Yoyo and Zebra loaches recommended (min. of 3). I like the size of the Zebra ...

considering algae eaters - pleco, snails, Hillstream loach

Just working on the stock for my planted 36g tank and was thinking about what sort of algae eater to add.

So far i've been considering:

* Apple snails
* Nerite snails
* Bristlenose pleco
* Tiger/candystriped pleco (Peckoltia vittata)
* Hillstream loach


I hear that the BN is a great eater, but ...

Looking for a Loach recommendation

Wondering if anyone can suggest a loach that would do fine in small numbers - as a single, in 2s or in 3s in a tank.

Thanks.

looking for a fun bottom feeder

Can anyone recommend a bottom feeder that is:

- is not too small (smaller than 3"). Can live with larger fish without getting eaten

- doesn't get too large (over 5-6")

- fun, likes to get around nice gravel, rocks, plants and driftwood with lots of nooks and places to explore

- works singly or ...

loach suggestion?

I'm setting up a new 30g tank and was thinking about what fish to populate it with.

I had bengal loaches in the past and remember them to be great characters... so I figure i'd throw it out there. Any recommendations for a loach that is full of character?

Loach needs new home

I'm moving accross the continent and need to find a new home for my Bengal Loach. He's a great hardy fella, that is trained to come when the glass is tapped.
Anyone in Toronto want a loach?

Thanks.
I've tried to soften the water with little success and stability. I'd prefer to try and work with my harder water. I have only one Queen loach left and want him to be comfortable, but i don't to keep getting and killing more them if they won't do well in the water. Would getting Zebras or ...
