SUCK SUCK SUCK!
2 little sucking catfish come to the rescue!
The bunch eating their meal happily in a nice clean tank.
The tank getting filthy with algae due to the warm humid weather for the last couple of days. So decided to have a big clean of the tank and hopefully it will last till I am away at Tasmania during Xmas. In the mean time, today decided to introduce 2 algae eaters - Sucking Catfish. They shouldn't post any harm to the goldfish so long there is algae for them to suck on cuz the lady at the pet shop said they might start to suck other fish for their slime if there is no algae for them to eat. But I am sure they can have a big feast with the algae I have in the tank within days. And the Elodea plant is growing like mad!!! The CO2 unit I bought obviously is working! I had 3 bunches of the Elodea and they grow almost 10cm in a week! Now I have about 6 bunches in the tank and eventually I will be able to sell it back to the shop!
not sure about tortoise :) the head looks bit like a penis! hahaha nah penis... i mean tortoise more suitable for shallow water with open space.
