Nice wood. That is a beautiful aquascape.

Elsewhere you mentioned having neon tetras in another tank and wanting siamese algae eaters.

We have a siamese algae eater in our 75g with congo tetras, neon tetras and other fish in a similar setup to that. And by similar I mean it started similar and then chose its own path.

    It's always sunny in Fishadelphia.

    This is actually a little old and I can't seem to find a good recent shot of the whole tank.

    We started with angels, dojo loaches, plecos, and panda corys. We've added synodontis, congo tetras, some neon tetras/platies/mollys from a repurposed 20g. The cooler fish we have are the spotted congo puffer who loves the trumpet snail infestation, and dojo loaches.

    The loaches are my favorites. They add a lot of motion to the tank and are super playful; they swim up to your hand in the tank the way a cat would your leg and give kisses with their sucker mouths.

    Oh, and they can breathe through their intestines which sometimes leads to them looking dead when they do lay about. The intestinal breathing and gulping air at the surface when foraging or feeding are likely why they're known for farting, which is pretty funny.

    They're also known as weather loaches because they're sensitive to barometric pressure and will be frantic and/or stand on end before a storm.

    Wow. That went on a bit. Thanks for coming along this far and have a good day.

    Yeah but...then you're back on reddit.

    A lot of us are here because we're eschewing reddit.

    Your advice is sound, though. You can indeed easily make new reddit accounts. But why? Reddit has been on a downward trajectory for years and continues to be less and less useful as time passes.
