Will big clown loaches eat small pleco?

Planning to combine my clown loach and pleco tank.
my clown loaches are 6 inch up. plecos are also about this size up except for one which is about 3 inch.
will the big clown loach eat small pleco?
it takes so long for this pleco to grow its an L25, only grew one inch in a year.

Re: 12 pcs clown loach in 4x2x2 tank?

I think a pond is possible, in a tropical country like yours. Can you keep the water warm, but well aerated? Sorry, I did not see the dimensions of the tank in the title. No, larger Clown Loaches (or any other fish) are not OK in a tank that is only 4' long. They might be OK with rays. Are your Clo...

Re: Help with levamisole dosage.

Up for this thread, btw can i premix powder into water? Or will the levamisole lose its effectiveness wuickly when in water? Since its hard to measure 3 grams of powder i was thinking ill make a mix of 10 grams in 500 ml water this way it will be easier to dose?

Re: Help with levamisole dosage.

Hi Squid-I need to clarify what you have. Is it 10% soluble or 10% concentration? If what you have is just levamisole powder, without additives,then it should be the former (concentration usually refers to a liquid solution). Solubilty refers to how much of the medication (levamisole powder) will d...

Re: Advise with My Imperial loaches.

I hope you have a much larger tank. You realize that leptobotia elongata can reach an astounding 30 inches long and should be kept in a school of no less than three. Not to be harsh but due to your query I'm left to assume you did no research before you purchased these exquisite loaches and look at...
