Now im confused lol. Thanks everyone. I guess i will just have to play it by ear. I wish i could have afforded and had room for a bigger tank.

Thanks, i didn't know how to work out my US gallons. The LFS said the loach would be ok on his own :( I did have 12 neons once upon a time but the had neon tetra disease in the second batch i got. The loach seems happy enough at the moment, will it do him any harm being on his own? Oh i...
