These guys are one of the more entertaining fish to watch especially during feeding. They are very social and love to play "tag".
I like they way they behave in a tank. It gives it more personality.
Good video. Bought one a year ago and love this guy. So fun to watch. He never really stops cleaning
I have never had this fish in my tanks before. I will let you know what I think as soon as I get some. Thanks for the great content.
You are always welcome.
I keep rainbows so you know how many are being found daily! Just found out that the garra have only been introduced into the hobby in 2005. Amazing. Just got my first one last week. It is very intertaining!
I love this fish. They are very fun to watch in any Aquarium and seem to get along with all the other fish as well. They are great Algae Eaters.
As I said in the video. Great fish to watch and a bonus they love almost every kind of Algae!
Great video. I really never thought about this as an Algae Eater as they are not a true Catfish. Great content as always.🤛
No but that is why they got by me as well.
I mean, there are a lot of sucker-mouthed cyprinids that are really good algae eaters, algae-scraping isn't really special to catfish or loricariidae.
Just bought a group of 6 young ones. In a 125g well established planted chiclid tank. Be fun watching them grow and do their thing. Nice video.
Thank you!
Thank you, te best review i have seen! 👏👏
Several people have contacted me on FB for where they can get these fish. What I would suggest is if you can't find them local, you might try typing in the name of the fish (Panada Garra) and then where can I buy. Suppliers that keep these in stock should pop up and you will be able to price them. They are not easy to find and breeders are very hard to find. Good luck. If you have any other questions please refer to my FB page facebook.com/george.wheelerartofwater/
there will be more information about these fish there. Thank you.
Ask your local small fish shop. They can order them for the next time they get fish and call you when they arrive. easy breezy
I checked locally for these and they were not available. Where can I get some? Thanks.
Petsmart used to have them in stock. Lately, I haven't seen them at any petsmarts I've been to. They're a tad cheaper than the ones from lfs which can run up to $17.
Same answer I gave to Kay Wheels. Type the name of the fish in Google search and add supplier and see what comes up.😊
Buying your Discus and Angelfish from the most reliable and knowledgeable Supplier in the country wattleydiscus.com/
👌I can't get these locally. I will try online if you would recommend someone?
I would just look the name up and put supplier after the name. That is what works for me.
Bobby G's in london ontario has some now , June 2024. A nice store .
What’s the best black beard Algae eater? Also are these ones ok with sand?
Yes with the sand, but no on that type of algae. The best way to deal with Black Beard is The Siamese Algae Eater. Depending on the size of your tank, you may need anywhere’s from 2-6 of them to be effective.
My Siamese algae eaters did a great job of eating black beard algae.
What is that big plant going through the tank?
That is a friends tank. I believe that is Anubis’s of some kind?
@@aquaticconceptsbringingwaterto thats wild I've never seen one that big!
I have a few tanks with Anubias that has grown beyond what I would have thought possible.
I just snagged 3 of these cute little water puppies. Thus far they seem to have more personality than the Juli Cory and Otocats.
They do have personality
Going to be adding a small group to my 450g tomorrow, I’m only nervous bc my mbu lays on the bottom a lot and don’t want these trying to bother him 😅
That can be an issue.
Do they like black beard algae?
George would know better than me, but I think I read that they do in its early stages. Maybe George has more on that?
Bill was right. They will eat Black Beard Algae in its very early stages. That is why it is good to get these into a tank when you are setting up
Yes, panda garra is best algae eater among the ones I have tried, if you consider all points like size, bio waste and interaction with other fish
Golden algae eater
SAE
Pleco
Amano shrimp
Snails
Mollys
Otos
The list goes on...
So weird hearing that these guys are great algae eaters, all over UA-cam. Does someone own a panda garra factory or something and has paid you all to promote them?? 😂
Everything that I have read on them previously is that they aren't great algae eaters, not when compared to bristlenoses, ottos, or Siamese algae eaters anyway.
They look awesome and I'd love to get a trio for my tank.
They eat it but not like that.. I have 1 in a 29 gal and my whole left wall is covered in green algae he seems to be saving it for a snack or something. I was looking into a smaller Pleco myself cause Ottos are the best but fragile and small..
@kellycano1164 I have 2 panda garras now and they eat aufwuchs but not really algae. My malaysian trumpet snails do a much better job of eating algae. I love the look of the garras but they aren't really good algae eaters (as expected).
@@giftofthewild6665 I've had a Panda Garra for about 9 months now and it spends most (75%) of it's time eating algae/biofilm from my aquarium glass. It spends way more time doing this (during the day at least) than the pair of Bristlenoses & Siamese algae eaters I have.
My daughter’s tank is the most algae-free tank we’ve ever had and a panda garro is all that she has that eats it.
Hey whatever works. Not the most attractive fish, but if they get the job done I will go out and get a few.
They're similar to otocinclus but bigger. Like any algae eaters though, you wanna supplement their diet with meaty protein.
For sure not the most attractive. lol
@@remhk6672 Agreed!
They are adorable!! I mean, maybe not aesthetically, but they have such cute personalities that I want to hug my daughter’s when I am caring for her fish and am hoping to find some of my own.
I am from Myanmar and I don’t even know they are from Myanamr
Mine will eat flake.
If it is a good flake like Seachem for Discus it is filled with Probiotics.
