I have a total of ten AF cichlids,one lonely loach and six Otocinclus in a 55gal rock tank.
All is well so far(crosses fingers) but I am worried about my Otocinclus and loach not getting enough food(wafers) and I know their algea eaters but I'm not sure that there is enough algae in the tank for them to eat,not at this moment.
When the light is on,a total of 8 hours a day I see little to no movement from them but that could be do to the cichlids now who doesn't bother them much but are completely pigs when it comes to food,scavengers but I do have rocks with small places the cichlids can't fit in that maybe why the loach is still alive.
I may not have to worry about it but sometimes I just like to ask to make sure all is well.
thanks.
