clown loaches need to be kept in groups, and the tank is too small for clown loaches aswell; but im not gonna say anything mmore it makes me sound nasty lol ^^

i think they might be a little snack, but i cant see why you cant try

Long arms will cut off your fishes fins and barbels while they sleep. They are not malicious creatures just opportunistic and very grumpy so if something thin and fleshy is in their way they happily remove it with a quick snip. Discus would be fine but I wouldn't trust it with the tetras as he may catch one and eat it, the cories,bn and clown loach, peppered cats may lose their barbels and have snipped up fins he may try and catch the corys if small. The khulis you may only see again in half.
