Your loaches seem to be really enjoying the flow in your tank. You have some lovely looking fish in there.
I think it's wonderful that due to the internet, I can enjoy your tank in Malaysia from my home in the U.S.

Thanks for sharing :D

Chen,

At 00:10 on your video, there is a vividly colored fish in the upper left. Is that a clown loach?

It's beautiful.

Yes. Without that powerhead, they'll just lay around and won't swim much..looks dirty, but its mostly bubbles.. :)
cool. there are so many!
Not that many, just that they swim around alot. :) could have bought more, currently they dont cost as much, but brains over heart, wouldnt want to burden the filtration too much(which is more than enough at the moment.:) )

Thanks!That is the Distichodus Sexfaciatus. I know that as it grows, it will be quite nasty..but I doubt that it will even bother the clowns..good dither fish for clowns, but quite expensive.

Thanks Martin :)

Yes, at 30+ inches they would make Marge look tiny. They're beauties when little, though.

Although they can reach 30 plus inches, but it is highly unlikely..most ive seen maxed out at 20...havent seen a 30 before..

They are in a 4x2x2 tank.
