Some people never learn. It's very frustrating really to keep discouraging people from doing this mix saying loaches are often ignored by mbunas. I'm not quite happy to say the least how people often think of loaches as afterthought.
No matter how most of us here try to let people read Emma's article on the forbidden combo, they're still not bothered at all by what they read.
I am pretty sure it was this forum.. it was one of the first things I learned being here and reading.. I was almost one of those to make this mistake until I read not a good combination! My loaches live with danios instead. (Who, by the way, make lovely fish!!)
