Today I bought a Borneo Sucker from City Pet Aquariums in Blacktown. I have named him Cutie.
Anyway I have made the following additions to my aquarium.
1. Added one small Borneo Sucker
2. Added one small Banana Lily plant

Changes Ive made to make my Borneo Sucker more comfortable
Due to its requirements I have adjusted the flow of the internal filter so it points directly above the water and ripples the water. I will also be upgrading my filter to an EHEIM soon.
I have also adjusted my temperature to 22 degrees celsius.
I have also purchased another sucker from livefish.com.au to keep this one company. It will be arriving next week.
