Help with Identification please. Purchased at Petsmart. I am not a pleco expert, but are clowns not striped? An image search was not helpful figuring this out.

Panda or pygmy corydoras Kuhli loaches Asian stone catfish are some good choices. The latter two may not been seen nearly as much as the corydoras

Older pictures of my 5 gallon mess of guppy grass with moss and 20 tall. Did not touch the 20 tall other than to add plants for about 3 years. They since have been redone

Anchor cats are great! I never seen mine much they usually hanging out in plant roots.

Ive took out lily bulbs before that have established roots. They may develop new bulbs under the soil

After having this tank for 10 plus years finally decided to retire it. Here is a video of the new setup.

Kuhlis do not necessarily need sand but yours may benefit from cover of some sort. Chollo wood is one of my favorite things for kuhli loaches. Gives them the sense of being hidden with the advantage of the fishkeeper being able to see them while in the wood.

Since the last update a lot has happened. I have not been doing the water changes daily as planned and became about every 3/4 day. The water was from a cycled shrimp tank. A single malaysian trumpet snail was added shortly after my last post. Since then the film buildup at the top is gone. The...

After one week I have observed that the biofilm builds up very quickly. The water in the vase also smells very bad. The topmost buce cluster melted away. Going to start changing a little water daily to see if it helps. An additional taller (~3 inch) bacopa carolina stem was added.

A plain plastic comb works great for duckweed removal

My camera doesn't take good pictures of smaller objects. I shall provide a verbal description as to the contents of the blurry photos. 8.5x4 vase with 3 unknown small buce, giant duckweed, a few strands of java moss, 2 bacopa carolina clusters, 1 unknown crypt and one small dwarf sag plantlet...

I use the food linked in the previous post. Had a lot of chollo wood in my tank but I really like the look of it. Liked that the kuhlis can hide in chollo and still be somewhat seen. The important part is them having places to hide so they are comfortable enough to come out and show...

I've never had any issues with kuhlis and shrimps or snails. Never have kept them together with corys, but from my experience the corys would probably outcompete the kuhlis if anything. A pellet mix would probably be a better choice than wafers in that case. It's not leaf litter but my kuhlis...

I would add a lily/lotus bulb or some sort of floating plant

Kuhlis prefer the meatier stuff over algae wafers. Check out my video of them eating a shrimp wafer. I would usually drop in a nickel sized wafer once a week. They make an excellent clean up crew for any food that falls to the bottom. They do better in larger groups and are pretty low on their...

I would say yes if you have enough room to support a large group of 8 or more.
