Solstice_Lacer Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 They seem like fascinating little creatures and I've been considering one for my shrimp and white cloud tank. There is plenty of bio film, but not really high water flow. Temps range from around 64F in winter to 76F in summer. Does a stiphodon goby seem reasonable or not so much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I’ve never kept them, but share your fascination. Awhile ago I stumbled upon these videos. Note the high flow and oxygenated water along with ample algae covering Hardscape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice_Lacer Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 I worry about not having enough flow for them. I'm kind of stuck on what algae eater would fit my setup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of stuck on what algae eater would fit my setup Just like hillstream loaches they prefer high flow. in reality keeping the tank cool and the oxygen levels up is all that is required. I have lizard loaches whom share requirements. The main concern is enough mature algae mats and film to munch on. It took me around 4 months to see dense algae mats on my setup. I have a wavemaker but my whiteclouds are breeding right now so it’s turned off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
