OK for the past couple weeks we have been getting our thirty gallon set up to put three clown loaches in with our Blood Parrot. Tonight we finally completed the project. The tank is rearanged and they are in together. The tank has never looked better.
Its been about 1 hour since they have been together and they re getting along great. I have put planty of hiding places for the clowns and the BP is surprisingly less aggressive then i expected.
Here are a couple Pictures.

You always make the most beautiful tanks. Good luck on the fish getting along. ^_^

Well, we still have all three loaches, and it would appear that they're chasing the BP. Not the other way around. Its quite funny. Just now, the three loaches went into the BP's pot, and he chased them out of it. It was kinda funny to see. They're all doing very well. And the tank looks great!

Thanks!

Also what wold be the best way to feed the clowns. We are feeding them flakes but the BP is eating most of them.
Could we do algae discs or Wafers??

Its now been a couple of days and the water seems to be clouding up.
What could be wrong.
Im going to do another water change but is there a possiblillity of too much bioload.
There is two Aqua Clear 150's and the UGF that came with the Tank.
I thought that should be enough Filtration.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong.

the tank has been set up for over a year now but just recently we added the clown loaches.
I added a spare fluval 1 that we had sitting around but its just getting worse.
I will post the readings of water perameters in a little while.
Thanks

Looks like you are going through a mini-cycle.
