I am building a biotope tank for Myanmar, Asia. I currently have a bushy nose Pleco, but it is not native to Myanmar. Panda Garra's are native to that area. Would they be a good substitute for cleaning the algae in my 36 Gallon tank? Current setup: 36 gallon tank, 100 gallon Fluval cannister filter, 9 Danio Choprai, 8 Odessa Barbs and the bushy nose in the tank right now. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi TJD,
I was the guy who scooped your danios and we chatted about loaches.
Did you still want to try loach(es) in there ?

there are a number of them from Myanmar - offhand in a quick search online I found Botia kubotai, Botia dario, Yunnanilus brevis, Botia histrionica, Acanthocobitis botia, Schistura similis, Pangio oblonga and Pangio pangia .
Some of those are fairly common in the hobby, some less so, but they are quick examples of what you might want to consider.

Thanks,
Rich

first incident I've ever heard of a Panda garra being aggressive
