Loaches

[crackmonkey]

I have two loaches which I don't know the name of but heres a pic http/img94.imageshack.us/img94/2137/picture0419sn.jpg

Would I be able to have Clown Loaches in with them or would they fight?

Looks like an Yoyo Loach. They should be kept in groups so you should get two or three more of them and what size tank do you have?

They look like Yo-yo Loaches to me...

Here's more info: http/www.loaches.com/species_pages/botia_almorhae.html

I don't think they'd fight with Clowns, provided it was a big enough tank. But beware, Clowns get very big (6-8" or so) and they need a huge tank. Just a warning.

Edit: Okay, I'm slow...you all are way ahead of me.

thats a yoyo loach . And it would be nice if you let us know size of ur tank as clown loach will get pretty big. If ur tank is under 100g its not going to be pretty to kill clown loach as they become very very big. And yoyo loach can be keep with clown loach no problem.

aggreed on the yoyo loach ID.
keeping most botias with other botias is ok,
I have several species together and they are all play/sleep mates.

It is a yoyo loach, and most botia do just fine together generally.
