Ok bear with me on this.
Right i have a small tank that i have had running for about 3 months with nothing in, hoping to use this tank for my molies and my red wags fry when nedded. the tank i have no way of cycling so i used algae tabs to grow the tank full of algae in the hope the living alage would eather cycle or part cycle the tank. this has gone good the tank is swarming with algae in the form of green brown and hairy type. so i had the idea to finish cycling the tank and get rid of the algae to buy a couple of hardy algae eaters, so of i went to the local aquarium shop and they recomended GOLDEN SUCKING LOACH so i bought two. got home and put them in the tank but they didnt look happy so ive now moved them into my established tank with all my other fish, the place i would have put them when they had cycled the small tank. Well now i read they are extremly nast as adults and am woried about my other fishes welfair. So what would you all sudjest should i put emm back in the small tank to cycle it and if they die say good ridens to bad crap or should i keep them with the others and not put them through the stress of cycling.
Anyhelp please.
My tank i have put them in consists of the following.
1 X coman plec about 5"
3 X Tiger Barb
5 X Neon Tetra
6 X Black Molie
2 X Red Wag Platy
2 X Clown Loach
And the two so called nasty sucking loach.
So what should i do put them back in the small tank to cycle it them hope they die or leave them with all the other fish
