Loaches Online Forum

Thanks wasserscheu and Emma. I think I will give it a try with a few. Amano's are cheap enough ($2-$3 here) that if it doesn't work out it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I have 4 small Zebra loaches (Botia striata) and I was thinking about getting some Amano shrimp to help with algae control. Will they be ok together or will I just be buying loach food? I have a 55 gallon planted tank if that matters.
