Congratulations on your purchase of some very healthy looking loaches

Here's a quick pic I took of one of ours just last week - apologies for the water marks on the glass though (I hadn't been intending to photograph these, but this one sat for ages in a good pose, so I just took one and hoped!)....
In a small tank, I would also think carefully about adding any dither fish - they are likely to end up in a bad way. Given a more roomy tank, it may be possible to get away with some fast moving dithers though.
