I would love to get these for my 120 gallon planted tank, would my clown loaches make it a non-starter?

Hello! In my experience, when i got this shrimps i had a thank with a 5 inchs pleco, 2 loaches botias and other fishes, and they were fine, after 2 months they breed, and i had no problems. The babys growed fine. Later i got a couple of African Frogs... and man.. bad choice. They were like ice cream for them. :( Plecos and Loaches are fine, but don´t think about put frogs or turtles in a tank with srhimps :D

I'm pretty sure the clown loaches would eat them. There are very few tropical fish that wouldn't. I believe Chinese algae eaters (name?) are among the only ones that won't.

Your clown loaches say that guy is lying. Your clown loaches want you to know it would be a great idea to order a few hundred shrimp along with some loach sized bibs, dinner plates, underwater candles and maybe some bottles of wine that goes well with shell fish. The loaches also want you to know that it is not their fault if all the shrimp "ran away" when you were not looking, they just want to assure you the shrimp were not eaten.

They're pretty small. I have a 60 gallon tank with a pretty strong filer pump, after I put them in the tank I never saw them again. Dont know if they were eaten or got sucked into the filter. If your goldfish isn't too big you would probably be OK.

I got the same tank as you and ordered these last year. They work pretty well for my heavy planted aquarium.You don't need to set it up separately. All you need to do is to clip the new light onto your original set up.

I really enjoy this tank. I like the all-in-one feature. It does run a little hot and I have to keep the back open, but it's summer and I hope that won't be continued into the winter. I took out the BioBalls and am using a media basket with carbon, floss and Purigen. I also have chaeto in the back as well. You can find a lot of information on the salt water forums. There are plenty of them and good advice with most. But for a clown and rocks it would be a good size. Being a smaller tank you will need to keep up with water changes as well. I hope this helps. Good luck.

River rocks, sand, normal tank rocks doesn't matter. Pleco won't do anything to them. The eel on the other hand I have no clue. I ended up buying these due to a fish store accidentally infecting me with trash snails. They bred by the thousands. I originally got loaches to deal with them but they were to small and were bullied by my bicher. So far these snails seem to be doing the trick and cleaning. The remaining loach hasn't bothered them yet either.

I have 2 48"-60" on my 90 gal discus tank and I love them, I would recommend 2 or 3 for your planted 125gal tank, depending on how bright you want it.

Absolutely overkill for a 5 gallon tank. You need a 50watt at most. A 150watt would likely cook the little guppies.

Maybe not quite sure but if you have enough hiding places the will probably be fine. I have a glow fish my self but not cherry shrimp

I am using in a 38 gallon. I use two as I was raising shrimp and neon tetras Love them and tank stays crystal clear. They're easy to clean every couple of months.

Sorry - I bought the box as a gift. I know nothing about raising fish. Good luck!

I have both of mine on a timer so they are only running during the evening hours that I am awake. I doubt they will bother the fish, they aren't glaringly bright even with the overhead light off.

I reccomend you grab two of the biggest or two of the ones a size smaller than the biggest. I have 2 of the biggest in my 120 gallon reef and the current could be a tiny bit more

They are great quality, but even such this Is a small variety of shrimp, and will be only 1/4 to 1/2 or so, maybe bigger but not much. Get like 30 in a 5 gallon and it would look great. Tbh with these guys order more than you need, they are sensitive. That being said, the seller sent me.mine and ALL were live, its been MONTHS and most are alive.

According to the Bailey brothers, both PhD's in fisheries and aquatics, a full dose is fine for clown loaches. http://www.aquariumfish.net/information/recommended_treatment.htm#top2

Don't go with the plant+... that's for planted tanks... makes the fish look a little worse... and doesn't give the corals the type of light they need. If your corals are low-light tolerant (mushroom anemones, etc.) or don't require any light whatsoever (such as sun polyps or gorgonians) you'll be fine. The light is so bright (for its size) you MIGHT even get away with large-poly stony corals and any other softies. If, however, your corals require relatively high amounts of light, this light might not be sufficient. Or you might need to put two of them in tandem.

Hello,These fixtures were designed for agricultural purposes and come with 6500k lamps. Not sure how well they do or don't work in regard to aquariums. Wish I could help more. Thanks & please remember to shop with Healthy Harvest Florida!

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.
