It’s with great sadness that I pass along a warning. The pride of my tank (fish wise) was a clown loach. He was very active and had lots of personality. The little fellow was beautifully colored, about 3 inches long and I’d had him 4 years.
When the cheap led light on my tank failed I added a Fennex planted+ 24/7 led light. Very nice light, but algae has been out of control. After researching the issue I learned that it is a common problem with this light. I’ve adjusted the program to have more time with the light on max but the algae wasn’t going away.
This is where things went bad. I dosed the tank with Tetra Algae Control. The label says it won’t hurt fish or plants and I dosed per directions. The clown was okay when I went to work. When I got home he was dead.
The ghost shrimp, albino bristle nose plecto, and otocinclus cat are fine.
I should have asked here about Tetra Algae Control and Clown Loaches before using it. So here I sit feeling feeling terrible.
