well...that mighta been a bit harsh... I got a tank full already, and wanna try something new.

they are enjoyable lil buggers.

decided to go with a mix of bamboo and amano. Both are relatively big, and adaptable to my water parameters. I like the idea of a 2-part cleaning crew...the bamboo's can chill and sift thru the water column, and the amano's can scoot around eating the algae.

thanks for the advice jim.

Hold off on purchasing the bamboo shrimp for a while. They need an established tank to do well. Because they filter feed, they also do best in a tank with a fairly strong flow of water.

Good luck!

:iagree:

Plus they won't like the lack of current in a discus tank, and would alwas sit near the filter output fruitlesly trieng to get some food.

nice heads up....thanks.

I could keep them in my other tank till this one is settled in a bit. As far as current goes, or lack thereof...I have a biowheel and a spray bar that move the water. It's not a lot of current, but the water is moving at a steady pace.

look at porthole catfish. they are pretty hard to find, but its worth looking for them. they swim mainly around the middle of the tank, but go down to the bottom to feed. they like to be ing roups and will get to 4 inches long.
