I was thinking of getting me a small family of these guys for my tank everyone is always talking about them and I have never had them before.
But everyone loves and talks about the corys alot to and I dont like them lol sory . My favorite catfish is the bumble bee , just to let ya know Im not a cat hater just the corys for some reason dont do it for me , the bumblebee is super cool though , its just prefference .
But I have heard sooo much from diffrent owners and sold so many loaches that I am interested in trying them out .
I asked or posted a thread like this on TFK as well but got very little responce , byron gave me some species to try but noone really gave me any opinion like i was looking for . I want to know a species and why you like that perticular one . Any of y'all had or have loaches ?

Lol , yeah I guess I need to be more specific with the tank refrence lol .
I was meaning my show tank its the big asian swamp bio . I think about it though I prolly need to put them in a diffrent on though due to the bumble bees , they arent known for aggression but they are cats and I dont wanna push their limits for sharing the bottom .

Thats it !! I feel stupid I dont know why i didnt think to check the profiles at tfk lol .
But yeah petsmart has a few right now they also have some rubberlip placos and clown placos . I wish they had zebras thats what i really want as far as placos go but man they are high have you ever seen them ? they go for over 100.00 bucks a fish though so they are way out of the question at the moment lol .
Back to the angelicus , I really like it and am trying to decide if I have room for a family of them in any tank .... I have bottom dwellers in all my tanks except for my grow out / cherry barb tank and i was gonna put the cherrys in that ...
You think they would do okay with the bumble bee cats ?

I didn't really look in TFK. I just typed in Angelica Loach and it came up. How much are they asking for them at Petsmart ? Hell, I don't have room for them either. I'm seriously thinking of putting most of the platies in a storage container. The Bumble Bees that I had were OK with anything they couldn't swallow. They had big mouths and liked big food. Roast beef was their favorite. I wouldn't be afraid of trying it.

Well, whenever it's best for you. I thought we should wait to give them at least a chance to survive. I'll keep them healthy, even if it's in a storage container. It'll have floating plants and be filtered and heated and they'll be comfy.
