    Ticto/odessa Barbs, Biotope Tank Mates

    Hi, Definetly will post pics when I have some, currently my tank is just an empty pile of glass lol. I really did want a couple of Loaches I was thinking a burmese loach but I'm worried about tank size as most people say it needs to be 120cm long for swiming room and mine is only 77cm long.

      Thanks, I have read about the Askysis vespa and did consider them. I think I will go with more odessas and maybe some celestial Danios plus a garra and some Askysis vespas

I would go with flourish excel rather then tablets but that’s a personal preference. I use the flourish excel in my tank...

     My tank is 77cm long so I'm thinking that loaches probably won't work.
