If I have 7 Botia sp. aff rostrata loaches that grow to a max size of 5 inches and they are currently 1.5 inches in a 20 Gallon, and i have a 55 gallon for them to move into once they grow, is that too overstocked on the 20 Gallon for now though? Their tankmates are currently tetras btw, about 5 of them. Please let me know

Hi!! :)

How soon do you plan to move them to the 55gal?

I would think that you would be OK for a little while, at least till your 55 cycles. Maybe others will have some more advice for you.

Welcome to LOL! :)

I'd think they'd be fine as long as you keep up with the water changes. How long do you plan to qtank for?
