Flow Loving Fish

[Theplatymaster]

What are some good small low-biload fish that will do well in a  high flow 20gal high. (I know Otos, Hillstream Loaches, and Corydoras) but im looking for some other fish like that. (also could Nerite Snails work in high flow?

I would do pseudomugils. They come in a bunch of colors and they do well in a wide variety of water parameters. Most danios and rasboras would work too. The nerite should be fine. Its fairly difficult to pull a nerite of off something by hand so i doubt flow would effect them.

I believe white clouds also prefer high-flow. And they tolerate low temps, as do the hillstream loaches. That's actually a pairing I might do soon or someday.

^^ White clouds.

Danios also.  I would also think a lot of barbs and rasboras as well.

I will definitely consider white clouds. I mean, they are pretty cool anyway

Shameless plug take a look at my first post on my sub-alpine creek biotope! I have a list.

 

I have white cloud minnows and black lizard loaches. Soon I will have a handful of gobies as well. They find ways to disappear in my 12g. I have had to turn my wavemaker off though as my WCM aren’t quite strong enough swimmers yet and now I have babies to worry about. So just a spraybar right now.

Also my ramshorn snails do just fine. They actually trap air in their shell and ride the current to get places in the tank with ease. I also have lazy assassins not doing their job. I guess Kim K was referencing them in her interview.
