loaches arent cichlids though

yea PAIRS not shoaling fish can you imagine a tank with between 6-10 of these full grown ey would be all hell broke loose

i wouldnt know from experience as i have never kept them. but the info quoted was taken from our species index, and i found it on numerous other sites too.

and a quick google search reveals that loaches are cyprinids

My apologies, seems they are from the Carp family....
I would never have thought of them as that.
Anyhow, I would personally keep them in a group of 6+, although there is still no guarantee that you will see much of them once they are in the tank!
