BettaSplendens Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 What fish can I buy that will clean the bottom of my tank and can coexist with female fighter fish? Thanks for the help. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 tBristlenoses get reasonably big and make alot of mess (poos) I would recomend something like an otto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I don't want anything that will grow huge. What size do they grow to? Bristlenoses stay pretty small, cories even smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Bristlenoses stay pretty small, cories even smaller. Depends what you call small :lol: P44 claimed to have an 18cm one once, but lets not start THAT debate again :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I don't think they get quite that big unless you're being very generous. But I have one that was nice enough just now to swim up onto the glass, measures at 12cm to the base of his tail. Include his tail and to the tip of his bristles on his nose maybe 14. I'd say it would be unusual for any to grow more than a cm or two more. But, anyway, yeah, I consider that smallish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Those pictures are essentially useless for an accurate measurement. Put him next to a ruler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 lol. Some BNs do get big. I bought some that were HUGE. The male was 16cms when he died and I still have the female who's about 13cm - 14cms but she hides heaps during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
