will this tank be big enough for my clown loaches

Post by 1jason » Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:02 pm

Hi i currently have a 4ft 330l tank with 9 clown loaches from 1 and a half to 3 inches and 2 common plecos 9 inches long. I set this tank up knowing i would need to upgrade and think i have found my next tank its from this company http://www.aquariums.ltd.uk/index.asp and measures 84"L X 24"H X 30"W will this be big enough to keep my clowns happy?
i wont be able to buy another tank for a few years so need to get it right first time. i may be able to go slightly larger but dont want to go larger than necessary and waste money on higher maintenance and running costs. Any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks.

That's a very nice footprint. Plenty big enough.

That larger tank sounds really good. Plenty of decorating ideas here at Loaches. Have you looked at the Streamish thread?
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!
