10 Gallon Fast River Set-up

[Tlaloc]

hello everyone, i just set up my little river tank and dropped in 2 hillstream loaches and a clown pleco. it has lots of smooth rocks, 2 big pieces of driftwood and a powerhead that moves around 350 gph. i was wondering could anyone with experince with hillstream loaches help me out with them a bit? like would good quality algae wafers and occiasional sheets of alage work for food? what about seaweed sheets? how many could i keep in this tank? and anyone know if zebra danios would like a fast river tank if they had a large area of calmer current to frolic in?

Tlaloc bro, you are moving wayyy too fast. At least introduce yourself.

I'm curious as to how any driftwood that'll fit in a 10G is considered big? Post up a pic!

I keep yellow finned hillstreams in my discus tank. I do not do any special feeding regiment, maybe the occasional algae wafers. They seem to be most interested in the little bits of algae that form on the smooth rocks and sides of the tank. They like to get in the stream of air bubbles coming off my air stone and dance around.

oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. oops. sorry to just show up and start asking questions hi guys.

[Tlaloc]

[Tlaloc]
