I'm going mad from lack of loaches!

i really am addicted to loaches,I think im going nuts. As you can see from my siggee,I dont have ANY loaches right now . Now I know what they mean by you dont know what you got till its gone. Anyway, I found some small sids,yoyos,and kubotai at my lfs recently.Would any of those be a good idea to add to my 26?I decided that instead of getting another sinibotia for my 26,I would clear my 55 of ich and then dedicate it to the genus, since i realised my 26 had too high a temp anyway.My 26 has 2 bristlenose plecs, a USA flagfish,2 rainbows,3 hatchets,3 UDCs, 4 tetras and a cory.

hate to be the angelfish 666 here but...
you lost a loach in your 26
and then you had a ich outbreak in your 55?
it sounds like things aren't going to well in your fish keeping world.

don't feel bad botiaboy...I had an undergravel filtertration system in my 55 which I totally do not recommend anyone ever having one which got backed up with tons of waste and I lost at least 15 fish to dropsy, fin and tail rot, had cloudy eye, and several unexplained deaths, not to mention the $ I spent on meds. It was literally a nightmare, just now getting it all settled, lol...that should make ya feel a little better!

Good luck to ya,
