Cheesejawa Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 GBAs would be my prefered option as thier bright yellow is like Africans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 i have clown loaches to collect any excess food. the africans spit enough of the aragonite around to keep the bottom clean & i use a magnet cleaner when i need to clean the glass.

aae1 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Clown Loaches and Bristle nose in combination do a great job. Bristles sort out the algae while the Loaches get rid if excess food waste etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
