I'm planning on setting up a 6x2x2 foot tank, principly for clown loaches with a few yo yos, kubs and zebras.
I have read that clowns feel more secure with dither fish above them.
I have also read, to my surprise, that clowns enjoy swimming with tiger barbs due to the colour of the tiger barb's markings. I always thought tiger barbs were very boisterous and trouble making.
Would tiger barb be suitable for a loach tank? What is the difference in temperment between tiger barb and black ruby barb?
Also I would love to put a few Bala sharks in there. Are Bala sharks too skittish and nervous for clown loaches?
I want my clowns to be cool and calm and happy. No Ick thanks!
I would love to hear peoples opinions.

I have 6 Bala Sharks upto 7" in with my Clowns and they are fine together, Rasboras make very good dither and are a lot more timid than the likes of Tiger Barbs.
In a tank that size a nice shoal of Rasbora borapatensis or even Rasbora trilineata would look very nice

14 loach species bred, which will be next?
