Ok, although it doesn't really read like that:loates123 said:yes i remerber u that clever one...Cheese Specialist said:loates, eh?
I am sure I remember you... didn't you want a silly number of massive coldwater fish in an 8ft tank which actually turned out to be much smaller?
I remember you didn't listen to anyone's advice then.
Anyways...
You bought 2 clown loaches this morning? Is that a good idea considering they'll have to be rehomed at some point? I agree you can keep them for a while btw. IMO people overreact about clown loaches. They grow very, very slowly especially after they hit 4" and 8" is more common than the beastly 12" that people seem fond of quoting. People have plenty of time to upgrade.
You talk a fair bit about algae. What kind of algae is it? Perhaps you should look at tackling the root of the problem rather than relying on fish to fix it.
Too much/little light, direct sunlight, overfeeding and overstocking are all common causes. Adding lots of live plants will help as they outcompete algae for nutrients and use amonia, nitrIte and nitrAte to grow.
HTH

Bristle noses are fine. Your tank is well big enough for one. They don't get big. Sure they make a bit of mess but it's easily hoovered up. I don't really understand why you are getting rid.loates123 said:Siamese Algae Eater over bristlenose
so you would go with a brslenose then mate, just worryong about mess etc..
