Loaches Online Forum

hello all! I have a group of 4 clowns in a 55 gal. with a few silver dollars and tiger barbs..the loaches seem well and are social and happy, however, one of the loaches has fallen behind in size and appears much skinnier and paler than the other 3 loaches, but he still socializes and feeds like nor...

hello all,
I have a 55 gal tank with 2-5"silver dollars, 1-5" red hook silver dollar, 1-2" bloodparrot and 4 -3" fat happy clown loaches...
I was thinking of adding perhaps a tiger or rosy barbs and maybe 2 redtailed botia..any recommendations?
thanks in advanced.

thanks Emma..hope they come out so i can enjoy them more...
the surface water is agitated well..good current

great! thanks for the welcome and the advise!..i was thinking of getting some more clowns..just want to see how these 3 work out, they have plenty of driftwood and rock caves to hide in and i have two airwands powered by a whisper 60..what other loach species could go in this set up?...

I recently picked up 3 clown loaches at my LFS. I introduced them (slowly acclimated) to my 55 gal..which is clean and about 82 degrees...the first day after purchasing they were all over the tank...swimming about chasing, etc..second day (yesterday) and today...they have been in hiding constantly.....
