Theplatymaster Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) 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?

Scapexghost Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjum Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 ^^ White clouds. Danios also. I would also think a lot of barbs and rasboras as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely consider white clouds. I mean, they are pretty cool anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) 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.
