striata shoal with clowns

Post by greenbaron » Mon Aug 25, 2008 2:24 pm

I've heard a couple of recommendations here for the zebra loach being a compatible species with clowns. I'm planning on getting 6 zebras in a few weeks, just wondering what do you guys with both set your aquarium temp to?

What size tank do you have? Both species need alot of swimming space...

well yea, i did that, thus the question. there's a little descrepancy in the temp ranges, just wondering what folks here did when they had both in the same tank.

I think the 76 - 78 F range will work for these fish.
Your vantage point determines what you can see.

I keep both in my 90 gallon tank and a little fluctuation here or there is fine. I'd say 74-80 F would be best. Good luck!
