Thanks guys, I'm still looking, keeping an eye on the pet wanted ads for anyone interested in free fish, there used to be alot of those, but they a haven't showed up to awhile (figures)
I got a question though. There is a tank in my Chemistry class at school, I think 35 gal. It has five clown loaches, a single bala shark (I know I know, don't bother lecturing me on bala sharks, its not my fish) and two plecos (I think they are plecos. One is about 4 inches and the other around 8inches)
Anyways. I look at that tank and see alot of empty space, but then I realize that is because they are all hiding in that one little bit of cover. In my opinion this tank is overstocked and it would not be a good idea to even offer the algae eaters to the teacher in charge of that tank. Opinions? That tank full? Or does anyone think that CAE will be ok in there? The only involvement I have with this tank is that I occassionally stay late after school to clean it, because no one else does it.
