"cleanup crew"

[calleja_aquariums]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a cleanup crew that will work well with my 6"severum, 3" jd and 2" salvini? Tank is 80g

thanks !

clown loaches aint bad after they settle in ur tank & aint shy no more.

but IMO, the best hands down clean up crew is the fei feng aka Flagtail. they are busy 24/7

dont flagtails get pretty big? and id only have to get one right? I like the clown loach idea they like to stick together if you have a few of them, only problem is they can be pretty expensive to get some decent sized ones in my area

you could try hoplos if they are available, tough and neat looking but behave like 5 inch corys

Any Gibbeceps Pleco will do. And they're the best at keeping the glass clear.

how big does a pictus cat get?

I have a flag tail and hes always munching 24 7. rocks, glass the lot. hes a very cool fish I recomend them over any other algae eater.

+1 on the flagtail. Very good algae eater, I got it a week ago and now my tank in the garage is pretty clean. It cleans even the algae on the silicone. I'm planning to award him with a plaque or something by the end of the year lol.

They get somewhat big but they grow SLOW. Make sure u pick 1 thats not aggressive even tho all it does is suck on other fishes if it does
