How bizarrre...I had a golden sucking loach who lasted a week in a perfect tank!! However, all of the shops stock also died but in 4 days of getting them in!!
In other words..... no!! I've had the complete opposite experiene!! Which is a real shame as I loved my Orion!

I had 3 sucking loaches, 1 disappeared after I did a total water change when I had to move my tank. I don't know where it's gone but I've never seen it since. The other 2 have survived 2 full water changes though!!

Aren't sucking loaches the same thing as Chinese Algea Eaters? If so, please remember that they get faily large, and get VERY aggressive when they get bigger.

Not trying to start an argument, sorry I just remember the chinese suckers being sold as sucking loaches, thinking they were tiny when we got them several years ago, and struggling to keep a 5 inch long aggressive fish now.

And yeah, I'd say they are pretty indestructable ^^
