[quote=Natalia;464079]Thank you all for replies.

Roy: Avi, I see you have Garra flavatra in your signature image. Do you keep them in your tanks and what is your experience with them?QUOTE]

I do have one...in fact I have two. I find them to be a close to perfect fish for my planted tank. They are always active...don't bother each other or any other fish in the tank...they constantly forage around the tank and I don't see them taking any food but what they find on the plants without doing any damage to the plants. They aren't very colorful but they are still...to me, anyway...very beautiful with a nice full body with pert fins, strong shading with a reddish color to the tail.

I only recently found them to be available and I've had them for some months now. I'm sold on them.
