Loaches Online Forum

nice fish
I wish they sold them at my LFS

That would look amazing.

this is my stocking list now

8 neon dwarf rainbows
35 harliquins
3 SAE
1 RTBS
8 clown loaches
4 yo yo loaches
4 botia kubotia
8 dwarf chain loaches

Okay I shall think about that one. How about if I skip the black ruby barbs and increase the numbers of the harliquins to 30-35 and add 2 more rainbowfish.

Thanks everyone for your help. If anythings happens I shall keep you posted and if I have any more queries aswell. When I save up all the money and buy the tank I will take lots of pics and post them here.

It will be a while until I...

I am looking at setting up a large 6x2x2 clown loach tank. It will measure 6x2x2 and contain 648L. It will be filtered by 2 external filters and 2 internal powerfilters.
