yea put the scavengers like the clown loaches and the red tail sharks they go good with the terrors and other cichlids.

i didn't know that clown loaches were schooling fish. how big do they get anyways? and yeah, they're a little cheaper than the "designer" plecos, some of them are sooo expensive.

clowns get 12" or so they say. i've never seen one over 8"... but thats still really big(if you have 3). like i said try the skunk or red fin loachs. they stay smaller.
BostonPatriot said:I have 2 GT's in my 75. I have 7 loaches, snowball pleco and a blue crayfish in my tank as scavengers. Seems to be working so far. I agree that a common pleco is a waste of space.
BTW: That GT in your avatar already has amazing colors! Make sure you keep that guy.
and was it you that took the last blue crayfish from lovely pets??? i was looking for them today to put in the tank at my school and now possibly my 55 gal. GT tank.
I keep two bristlenose plecos and 4 pictus cats to clean up the bottom, and they do an amazing job.

Hahaha no it wasn't me. I got my blue lobster next door at the petco on the corner. They were a little bigger. But yeah, you can keep a blue crayfish with your gt's. They look great under a color anhancing light.
i think its down to a catfish and some kind of pleco, they had a yellow stripe? pleco at my lfs today, and clown plecos too., no pictus cats but a few others. i think a pleco will be nescessary for algae, but i hope i don't get a lazy one.....
