Plan To Get New Fish - Advice Pls?

[joannestevenson]

Hey!

I currently have a clown loach & another simular fish but not sure of name lol, I had a disaster a while ago and they were to only 2 that survived unfortunatly I know clown loaches like be with friends therefore would like to get some more but im worried my tank it too small after reading some of the posts on here! I think my tank is around 30 gallon.

Also when I do get more fish am I best to get them bit by bit or all at once, I want the least possible trauma abviously.

If your going to be nasty and tell me im doing everyone wrong then dont bother posting lol! I would like advice but dont want ripping to shreds!! Im sure u know what i mean

Many Thanks
Jo

Hi joanne,
I'm not sure about the Clown loaches but I think a group of them would probably need a bigger tank. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you out there.
As for adding new fish you are best introducing them a few at a time. The best way is to check your water stats and if everything is ok then add 3 or 4 fish. As long as your stats are fine you should be able to add fish every 1-2 weeks.

I really really dont wanna get rid of my clown loach, i love him!! But dont wanna overcrowd, really not sure what to do for the best to be honest!

I don't blame you for not wanting to get rid of him, you get quite attached!
I'm afraid I have no experience with clown loaches so I really hop someone else can give you the advice you need.
Best of luck!!!
