Loaches Online Forum

I would like an oinion. I have a 28G Bowfront, and I want to add some loaches. to give a little background:
Filtration is for this small tank eheim 2028 w. prefilter a U/V filter, and a sponge filter (ys, I aim for cleanest water)
Lighting: catalina aquarium 24x4 65kand 10000k on timer
substrate is 1" seachem fluorite black sand and 2.5" ecco-compete black
plants: YES!
Fish: 5 Tiger Barbs, 2 round banded barbs, 1 Bristle nose pleco, 2 Julii Cory, and 1 Chinee Algae eater that will be re-homed within the next week. Ever since I swithched to this substrate it's been thrashing all over, spreading dirt all over the plants. Anyone in the Columbia MD area want to rade?
Anyway,
I am looking to add 2-3 polka dot loaches. Any Comments?

A 28 gallon tank is too small for Kubotais. Perhaps some Kuhlies of some sort?
I would add more Cories, too. They are very social fish and behave a lot better with about 5 of their own or similar species.

The tank is definitely too small for B. kubotai, and they need to be in a group of 5 or more.

Kuhlies are a good ides, and maybe Dwarf loaches aka Sids. Someone may correct me.

And definitely add more Cories. I have at least 8 species, each in a group of five or more individuals. They hang with other Cories, but they like their own species best.
