Very enjoyable video thanks. With a lovely shoal of young Clowns and lots more going on too.

However, I would be interested to know what you think of the following. I was advised that the "Roseline Sharks" which are locally named "Dennison's Barbs" require a cooler temperature than Clown Loaches so I didn't get them (I have Boeseman's Rainbows instead). Both are beautiful fish though.

Have you any comments on the optimum temperature differences please? Thankyou.

Thank you for your comments, redshark1. I agree that the upper limit is 77°F (20° C), I have had these for over 1.5 years and got them when they were very small. I keep my 125, with the loaches, at around 80°F. They seem to be doing well and growing.

Unless you are trying to breed a certain fish, I think most fish can acclimate to most water conditions (within reason of course). Especially those that are tank breed and raised. But, that is JMHO.
