You know, my apologies. I should have spell checked, my keyboard on the laptop is weird. Won't happen again.
See, I don't thinks it's a CAE, because I have one in my 10G, and it's brown, not attractive at all. here's a pic of one. This is nothing like the pic I posted. I went to a shop, described it, they seem to think it's some kind of morph Pleco/Goldfish thingamajig. well, I won't rest until this is figured out.
And correct, that's a 3" clown loach. In addition, there are 6 Tiger Barbs, 1- 4" Rainbow Shark, 3 Long Fin Zebra Danios, 2 Julii Cory, and there will be 3 Silver Dollars and possibly 2 Banded leporinus in there. Filtered by a EHEIM 2026 PRO II that I just installed (rated for up to a 169g). Researching for the best lighting for planting, some plants already in there though, a CO2 System, then this tank will be complete.
The 10 Gallon Planted has 2 Dwarf and 2 Neon Blue Gourami's, 1 CAE (which has to go once grown), 3 Cardinal Tetras and 1 HUGE FEMALE African Dwarf Frog named Cleopatra. 3 rams Horn Snails and 1 huge Apple Snail. Filtered by a HOT Penguin 150. Yes, also pretty big for the 10 gallon, esp with the plants. This tank is actually more beautiful than a lot of larger ones because of the plants, substrate and the colorful fish in there. When the frog is doing its dancing, it's even better. movies to follow shortly. This tank will get a few more low plants, a CO2 system, then it'll be done.
The 3 Gallon Desktop: 1 Male Beta ready to breed, 3 ram horns and 1 large apple snail. Also planted.
I'm looking for large Nerite Zebra Snails for all 3 tanks. They are beautiful and the Loach won't be able to eat them. Pic attached. I can't find them in MD, and even though they are not expensive, they cost $45.00 to ship! Oh well.
. There is a fish club called gwapa.org. They might have what you are looking for and located in MD/VA/DC. I am not a member but some might be and give you more information.
