One of the cool thing about bringing in fish for other people is the chance to see fish you may not normally be drawn to or have kept in the past. I instantly fell for the Dwarf Rainbows - a very cool little fish with amazing colours. The clown loaches look fantastic swimming around in a group of 8 or so - very distinguished and pure characters.
I have also brought in some fish that are fantastic for getting rid of algae. I was introduced to American Flagfish (a type if Killifish) a couple of years ago when I had a massive attack of algae, I was literally pulling the stuff out of my 72 gallon by the handful. I bought a group of these guys and in 3 days the algae was gone. They would sit there and pull the algae apart strand by strand eating it all! I also have some classic algae devours SAEs aka Siamese Algae Eaters. These are the real things not the Chinese Algae Eaters that are 1) not good algae eaters and 2) can get mean. Another algae eaters currently in my tanks are the Endlers. I had a small amount of green algae growing in the moss in my shrimp tank and after adding the endlers to the tank they did it in in short time.
I have also brought in 8 oz packs of frozen blood worms. They are for sale for $8.00
