holey cow... nice vid find thumbs up

the ones i had went from 2"-7" in 3 years, had to get rid of them because it wasn't fair keeping them in a 120L considering the room they need, but are honestly 1 of my favourite fish and they love snails yep

Nice fish, I love these yep the tank in the vid is too small for them loach I reckon you'd be looking for something around the 6ft mark with wave makers for current they really do need a long tank. That's why I had to get rid of mine. thumbs down I never could keep plants with them they just uproot everything. thumbs up

What shrimp do you have? Will be wanting something new in the new year when I eventually get round to my new aquascape that I am planning :)
