More?

I have 2 dojo loaches and I have been watching them and they have been fine. I am not sure if I should get 2 kuhli loaches would they fight? I only have about a ten gallon tank so I don't want it to get too crowded.
Help :?:

I would not plan to keep loaches in a 10gal tank for very long, I hope that is just a temporary set up. In my opinion, I would not get any more loaches until you get a larger tank. I don't know how big Dojos get, but 10gal seems too small for any loach.

I have 5 small Clowns in 55 gal tank, and plan to move them to a 90gal tank once they get a bit larger.

Kuhli's are not compatible with Dojos. They have different temperature requirements. Dojo's are not tropical warm water fish, they need cool water from 55 to 75F. Kuhli's are warm water fish and need 77 to 82F water.

Dojo's really do need much more space to swim in. 40 gallons is the minimum tank size recommended for them.

Dojos get WAY too big for a 10 gallon tank.
Get a tank closer to 4' long, then get a few more.

Kuhlies in a 10 will work, though they can be a bit too active. I have one that never let me catch him, and still hangs out in the 10, even when all his buddies are in a 20.
