Loaches and Co2

Post by angelfish83 » Thu Oct 19, 2006 10:33 pm

I found out today I've come into a little money so I have enough to do whatever I want with my tank...

So since I can't house triggerfish, are loaches ok with Co2?

If I were to keep the surface agitation up (and therefore have to loose a lot of Co2 from a pressurized system but still, lots of oxygen) would it be ok? I wouldn't be keeping very demanding plants so about 20-24Ppm of Co2...

Is that ok for B Histrionica and Rostrata? (Ive decided these are the only loaches Im going to have cuzz theyre ma favourite) :wink:

So I guess my loaches aren't as sensitive as the clowns then...
Harold has (had?) Yo Yo's in that 20 tall tall contraption... they looked like they were P.O.W's though... I thought maybe the Co2 had affected them badly somehow...

Cool so I guess I can try it then once I get the funds together :D

I'm going to try to track down those amazing Puntius species we were all talking about... I know Harold can get them its just a matter of them being in good quality...
