i'm sorry, but at the pet store today, they had a lot of loaches, and i have no idea what they are, other then fish. could someone please enlighten me?
 
Its similar to a catfish or pleco. Thier bottom feeders or algae eaters.

Most of them are pretty small 2-3-4 inches
 
ok, but still too big to be kept in a 29 gal right?
 
no thats about right. clown loaches are about two inches. There are a lot of types of loaches but most would be okay for a 29 gal
 
but i was told that different kind of bottom feeders eat different kinds of algae. so if i get a loach, what else should i get?
 
hahahah I misread 2" for 2' at the pet store sorry.
 
anywho .I believe you could just get some sinking algae wafers. Ive never had one before .
