I'm wondering some where down the line of getting some chain loaches, not just for 
snails but a little more activity in my 75 gal tank that I spend most my time looking at.

They don't get that big, they don't breed in glass box's, & they keep the snail population 
down & I Think eats algae, don't quote me on that. but this is what I have found on them 
if any 1 knows anything about them I sure would like to learn more about them.

Dwarf Chain Loaches if you have more vids, please share, I won't mind watching them.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Rachel O’Leary has a species spotlight for them too. 
She is one of the people that I truly trust. Def check her videos in case you haven’t yet. 
 

 

Well she about said the same thing the video I put on my post said 
& that's they are expensive, meat eaters, but eat just about anything 
can be in a warm tank, didn't say anything about breeding, but need 
a decent size group nothing about what tank mates they can go with.

Does Cory have anything about them ? thank you for the video on this.

Well flip, He didn't have a lot to say about them either, so I goggled it &
found this > Dwarf Chain Loach 101 >https://www.aquariumsource.com/dwarf-chain-loach/
it told me more than the videos did so if anyone is interested in getting
them take time to read this article about them it will fill in the gaps for you.

Oh well, that didn't help, but it's no biggie, I was just 
wondering about if they would be good with my
rainbow shiners is all, but everything I've seen, read
looked at doesn't tell me a lot other than what I know.
