Very cool!! Those garras are fantastic!
The rest of the fish look very cool too, by the way.

They've been doing some swimming in open water, not sure if it's the same gliding a hillstreams do but looks cool!

They also seem to have a similar motion to sharks with the whole body S ing not just the tail moving

Thank to Emma for the recomendation!!!

Great video, Adam. 8) Told you you'd love those Garra flavatra! :D The only thing I would say is that some of the clown loaches look a little underweight to me, so keep a close eye on them to make sure they don't get any skinnier.

They have put on a bit of weight since I got them, not all shops take as much care of their stock as yours

Thanks Adam. :D It's probably worth Levamisole-ing (is that a word?!) them before they move into your proposed h-u-g-e tank though.

Could I dose the whole tank with that as a precaution or would the clowns need to come out and go in a Q-tank or take the others out?

You could dose the whole tank to be on the safe side. Also, catching the clowns out of your current tank and putting them in a smaller hospital tank could prove quite stressful to them, so if it were me, I'd treat them in the tank they're in now.
