My 400L for Botia Macracantha

[Cobitidae]

Hi everyone! i am new here and i love this site..
I am from Italy, Florence.
I breed fishes from ages, but now i discoverede my real passion: Loaches.
So i decided to give to the shop all my Angel Fishes to have only Botia.
I was wondering: Is it ok to keep 10 Botia Macracantha in 400l? Can i add goup of 10 corydoras?
As i ead an articl here about a man having a 550L tank with 10 Botia macracantha, 7 other loaches and 13 corydoras.
As i would like to try reproduction in future (now botia are only 6-7 cm) i think in future i could buy abigger tank...but is it ok for now to let 10 btia grow uo in 400l?
thanks

i was also wondering if anyone here have ever tried to have a rproduction of Botia...in an italian forum 2 users have done this...one had 12 botia in 3000L and the other a smallr tank and they both breeded Botia M.

Ciao, il tuo 400l carro armato è troppo piccolo per 10 Botia macracantha adulti. Va bene per i bambini, ma sarà necessario acquistare una vasca più grande quando crescono. Adulti Botia macracantha è 40cm di lunghezza. Corydoras sp. crescere fino a circa 5 cm di lunghezza. Non è una buona combinazione! Scegli grandi, tranquilla compagni per il vostro Botia, ad esempio, 'rainbow fish' o 'kissing gouramis'.

Hello, your 400l tank is too small for 10 adult Botia macracantha. Okay for babies but you will need to buy a bigger tank when they grow. Adult Botia macracantha is 40cm length. Corydoras sp. grow to about 5cm length. Not a good combination! Choose big, peaceful companions for your clown loaches e.g. 'rainbow fish' or 'kissing gouramis'.
