My kole seemed very happy in my 97 (36x24x26) but there's no denying the wy in which he moves around changed in the big tank. I suppose everything's relative but seems much happier.

I understand that film algae is found on smooth rock surfaces in the wild and obviously glass in our aquariums. The Kole's mouth is designed to suck the film algae off the glass.s iIf you observe him he has a sucker-type mouth.
Like all fish they will do their best to find what they need and sometimes adopt to aquarium food but ultimately they will start to go downhill if their specific food needs are not met.
