Will Sucking Loach be compatible....

[Jimmy Twotimes]

Hi guys

A friend has offered me his Sucking Loach as he is moving house and is getting rid of his old tank. I'm not sure whether to accept as my tank has very peaceful fish (lots of guppies, 2 platys, 9 neons and a SAE).

Should I take the loach or is he gonna give me trouble?

Any advice much appreciated.

Hmmmm, I personally would avoid it to be honest. They can be very nasty and could change the nature of your tank.

However, there are some fish that don't live up to the hype. What size is the fish now and what is it's temprament like? Does your friend have another option?

The only other fish he has is a neon tetra which wont be a problem. Not sure how big the Loach is but neither do I want to take a chance cos my tank is a "relatively" peaceful community.

Thing is I can't give him back if the loach turns out to be a bit naughty cos he'll have got rid of his tank.............

Think I'll say thanks but no thanks..............
