Great pics!

Do the loaches make full use of the multi-layer pot towers?

Oh, they're gorgeous! I love the pot columns- I have one piece of fake wood with lots of holes in it that I've put vertically, the clowns adore it!

They like them so much I am in the process of making some more, I have also stuck some 6" lengths of 40mm black pipe to the ends and back of the tank with suckers and they all love hiding in them.

All I did was get 3 small plastic plant pots and 1 terracota pot, cut holes in the front of each pot, the plastic ones are easy but I used a dremmel with a small grinding disc to do the terracota pot. Then using aquarium silicone stick them all together, when I get my 7' tank I am going to make some bigger ones for my small clowns.

It is slightly overstocked but there are 2 fluval 4 internal filters and an Aquapro external running in the tank so it is well over filtered, as soon as my 7' arrives these fish will all move into the 80g that the clowns are in at the moment.
There are
Botia Striata,
Botia Rostrata,
Botia Kubotai,
Botia Almorhae and
Botia Dario as well as a
Dojo Loach that I rescued from someones Discus tank.
I also have a
Garra sp,
Rasbora Einthoveni,
Boraptaensis,
Heteromorpha,
Paviei and
Pauciperforata, also some
Zebra Dianios that will be moving to the
Y. Sidthimunki tank as soon as its done.

Thank You, Mad Duff. My wife is on her way to get flower pots and it sounds like I will have to upgrade our tank just for all the flower pot towers. Thanks Again.
