Loaches Compatible With Apistogramma

[Spank]

I want to keep my cockatoo dwarves and move them into my new tank and was wandering if anyone could recommend some loaches or other bottom feeders to go in the same tank (it's 120UKgallon).

currently, the tank they're in has 2 rather active yoyo loaches who don't harrass the Apisto's but have made it fairly obvious that they're higher in the tank pecking order and as a result the Apisto's have to stay out the way. I know most loaches are quite active generally and so was thinking of some Cory's, is this a better solution?

 

[Apisto]

Hi there,

I have three Botia Stratia (Zebra Loaches) in with my trio (1M & 2F) of Apisto. Trifiscana and they seem to get on fine with no signs of bullying each other and I also have a pair of Kulhi Loaches in with my Krib pair in another thank and they seem to do fine too. I'd imagine any of the smaller loach variaties will be suitible, although they do have the potential to eat unguarded cichlid eggs.
