Leptobotia pellegrini or 8 inch clown loach?
Hello all
Any additional advice to keep one of them?
I could get one, which is cheaper than a 8 inch clown loach.
Getting either one of them, but i would like some info about the pellegrini before deciding.
Any suggetions and infomation will be greatly appreciated.

Not much is known on these Chinese Loaches, since China cannot export many fish for the aquarium trade. Perhaps you can help us, with you keeping us up to date on how these loaches interact in a aquarium and which feedings are enjoyed most.

It is stated in the article..I'm not sure....that is why i thinking hard whether to risk my small clown's lives or not...piggy4 wrote:Hi Ckk125, when you say predatory, what would their tank mates be ?
I've just looked at the pics over on the other thread , and i cant see the L.Pelegreni being able to predate on any of the fish in there ?
I think i wouldnt get it..rather get some XL clowns again.

I know that Joe Loach's Leptobotia elongata used to suck in feeder goldfish whole....slurp....gone! L. pellegrini look to have fairly large mouths so I would follow the "big fish eat little fish" rule of caution.
Certainly, being Chinese fish in origin they do not want to be kept at temperatures suitable for Clowns.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
