My current set up is a 90ltr tank stocked with,

4 x Odessa Barbs
5 x Rosey Barbs
2 x Sterbai Cory
1 x Golden Sucking Loach
1 x Red Finned Shark
1 x Khuli Loach
2 x Shrimp

they all get along fine with minimal to zero aggresion between all.
I bought the Kuhli loach about 2 months ago and thought it long gone untill a week ago when it randomly appeared at feeding time since then been doing some reading and it seems they like to be kept in groups, anyone know what the best mimimal group size is? i know my tank is slightly over crowded as it is but its been like it for almost a year now and like i said they all get along fine and have regular water changes so are all in good health.
 
The khuli loach and cory's would be happier with more of their own kind but I woudld be leary :crazy: of the golden sucking loach, especailly if it is a Chinese sucking loach otherwise also know as a Chinese Algea Eater. These get huge and are all to often bullies as they get bigger better to have some otocinclus as these stay small eat the algea and are peaceful. Red finned sharks can also get huge and are not always the most peaceful fish, I bet as the sucking loach and shark get bigger they will come to blows.

Thanks for the reply, ye ive heard that about that pair before atm they seem ok. the loach was bad at first but has got less and less aggressive over time. Im going to go and see if i can find some more Khuli's today :D
