Compatability of Clown Loach

[ChrisCook]

I have been offered a Clown Loach to go in my tank but would like to check the compatability of it with the fish currently in my tank.

I have a 10g tank currently holding angel fish, botia loach, lemon tetra, gold tetra and platys.
I also have an empty 40g tank.

Will the addition of the clown loach cause any problems with those fish? If so which should I keep in which tank? I think the angels should be moved to the 40g tank....in fact maybe they should all be moved!

Will the new fish be ok?

Chris

hi chris

as i said yesterday in chat, clown loaches dont like to be alone and idealy like to be in groups of 3 or 4.
neither of these tanks, IMO are big enough for clown loaches which can grow to be 10 to 12"

I aggree with M'Lady.

Chris, why not get your 40G up and running and move youe angels into that, they will be happier and healthier

Angels need a 30g minimum tank at adult size so a 40g would be great for them.
