Finally got some Clowns!

[Bill Stock]

No, not the resident YoYos. :-)

I finally got around to replacing the Barbs that decimated themselves a few
months ago, so I picked up four Clown Loaches (Tropical tank), 3 Yoyo
Loaches (office tank) and 8 Cardinal Tetras (Tropical tank) to restore their
numbers. They're all sitting in quarantine for now, the waiting is going to
kill me.

=============================
These have got to be my all time favorite fish. Clown loaches are the best.
Yoyo's are another fish I seldom see here. How large is the tank they're
going into?

I saw your reply in Google.

They will be going into a 55, which will eventually become a 90.

Their are already 3 Yoyos, 3 SAEs, unknown Otos and 5 Cardinal Tetra's in
this tank. I had 12 Barbs before the SAEs, but they all knocked each other
off. I've lost three Tetras over 2.5 years.

The Yoyos are going into a 20 to control the snails. This tank has three
SAEs, 3 Cherry Barbs and unknown Otos.

My tiger barbs were too nasty last time. I wont buy any more of them.

Do you have a lot of live plants? You sure have a lot of algae eaters. I
have otos in all the tanks. They're nice small peaceful little guys.

I had six Tigers Barbs and 6 Rosy Barbswhich lasted almost a year, but then
started dropping like flies. The water seemed fine and the other fish were
OK, including the Tetras.

Yes I have Otos in both planted tanks. The large tank has been neglected
most of the summer (CO2 empty and one bulb gone) as I keep hoping to get the
90 gallon going. Both tanks are pretty much consumed with huge Sword plants
and a few Red Ludwigia. The office tank has really done well without my
intervention.

=========================
What is the PH of your water? My swords always struggle along while the
vals and some others go crazy.
