Ok. a bad idea was proberbly using sand - its terrible and gets tank dirty easier. but thats been removed now. i have a gravel substrate now. my tank is small, B front - another bad idea however 'cool' it looks. i have a chineese sucking loach, an angel, opline gourami and a young oscar, they get along fine and they have plenty of space. i have 2 powerful filter systems, but :swear: me the substrate gets dirty so easily! and the glass! sucking loach cleaning the glass all day and it does nothing! please any advice is accepted... needed... should i get a plec? magnetic glass cleaner? what about the substrate?
help :cry:
 
You need to get a gravel vac you could try a python. Also you may be feeding to much. What is the size of your tank and what are your water parameters. And don't rely on a fish to clean your tank, that is something you will have to take care of your self.

He doesn't mean the dimensions he means the water parameters... ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. You need to have a test kits to test each of these if you want to take the best care possible of your fish. This test can also help diagnose a lot of problems that you maybe be having. Here is a link to the python and a test kit.
