I reckon it's worth a try. but do get more weathers; one is just not kind. they don't school like the botiine loaches, but they do like company.
hi again. :)

the problem is after talking to a very expeirianced fishkeeper who has a trigon 190 aswell (and other tanks) she worked it out at 51inches of fish.
so...
1 weather loach- 10"
6 zebra danios- 12"
---------------------------------

thats what i have atm.

so i have 29" left.
so i was thinking...
1 more weather loach
5 lake tebera rainbowfish
3 of those korean loaches(one of each, and i am struggling to find some, i going to ask if my lfs (whos very good) who might. but should i get 3 of one type? i don't know wich shoal or wich don't :? )
but i'm now worried that 2 loaches is not enough?!?!?!?!? :?: :!: :?: :!: :?: :!: :?: tehe
btw :idea:
i've had my loach for about a year so i would guess he 1 1/2 years old.
so in a few years when i move out(at least 4 years :lol: ) the first thing i'm getting is a rio 400(5ft by 2ft). :idea:

i am realy apreiciating this help and am realy learning alot.
thanks :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

All those 3 species of Korean Loach would work with Weather Loaches, but you have about zero chance of finding any.

Just because we feature them in the Species Index doesn't mean they are available within the ornamental fish trade.

I'm in the UK, and I've not yet come across one :( more weather loaches and lots of white clouds is clearly the answer :twisted:

ahh good news.

looks like after christmas, instead of a trigon a 48"x24"x18" will be the weather loach tank. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
thanks for the help though. :) still learned loads. :)
