Back Here After Some Time Away, Got Some New Fishies

[Fluffybiker]

little trip to the LFS yesterday and brought some new friends home, was time to add a couple after rehoming 10 young guppies
(from an unexpected batch! still have 4 1 female still in need of a home though)

well i seem to have bought something a little unusual, I now have 2 Galaxy Rasbora's and very very cute they are
but i know beggar all about them (sorry yes my fish buying criteria is will it stay under 5cm and is it friendly, then i go
for pretty things!)

so if anyone can share any knowledge on them its gratefully recieved

they look like this if you aint heard of em

got 2 Octocinclus to as caretaker for the tank, their funny lil things! again i know nothing apart from they like algae
Thanks

They stay small, and need to be in groups bigger then 2. I suggest getting 6. They shouldn't get any bigger then 3/4 of an inch.

Only bought 2 as thats all that were left in the LFS, I'll have to keep my eye out for more but its only a very small tank (35ltr)
and i dont want to over stock, got the Octocinclus as i was told they has a low bioload - is this true?

Cheers guys

Your Ottos won't create loads of waste so they'll be fine. It's worth getting a couple more though as they do better in groups.
