Y modesta questions...

[andyroo]

Aggressive, yes?
Too much so as to live with relatively bloodthirsty set of angels?
I ask as the local shop has a dozen small (2- 2.5cm) animals look fairly healthy -though a bit skinny- with good vigor, but expensive at equiv of about 20 bucks US per.
Advise/experience?

I think they'd go after your angels. And isn't the pH requirement for angels a little too high for loaches?

[andyroo]

Water's essentially neutral, slightly on the acidic side.
How is Y. modesta with Clown Loach? Too pushy?

i think Marcos can answer your question, his recently had a scrap for a hiding place.

I would not add Y. modesta to a tank containing slow moving fish with trailing finnage. A recipe for disaster IMO.

nor with Clowns, I have both. Modesta are very aggressive in spurts and do much better in groups or with S. beauforti.....

They will tear up your Angels I would think besides the flow issues and water requirements being different

I have 10 Modesta or so solo in a specie specific set up and mature Modesta with mature Beauforti in one of my large tanks

Modesta do not do well with more aggressive Syncrossus and beat up my mature Almorhae after growing up together in harmony so they are bullys but not too tough really.....
