Every night I find it's so hard to sleep and I cry for my poor clown loach.

Thank you for taking the trouble to type that reply and it is certainly food for thought, I have thought similar when I see Piranha keepers feeding their fish with small mammals, so unbelievable cruel. I only give them very small pieces and they really love it. not wishing to sound facetious but sha...

Along with their usual pellets or flakes or Repashy soilent green and also grub pie, l have started giving my Weather loaches and also my pictus catfish some strips of raw minced beef, they absolutely love it, the gourami eats it from my fingers.
Anyone else feed raw..

Anyone else keep them? I now have 4 sharing a tank with a single opaline gourami. They all seem to eat anything offered, the gourami eats from my fingers.

Apparently (so I read) black algae is not an algae at all, it is in fact a kind of bacteria, hope panda garra like that as well!!

Oh thanks for that suggestion, I didn't really want to increase the bio load but some good cleaners would certainly be useful.

If you don't move the sand around won't you get anaerobic bacteria in it? I also have a large Fluval interior filter and sand gets sucked into the bottom of that, I hate sand but it bugs me that the loaches would probably prefer it.

I gave up using sand for all the reasons you have pointed out, I now use a fine rounded gravel but this isn't produced anymore as it is tumbled'
I bought a slightly larger rounded gravel;
