Post by Lil_Loach_Lover » Sat Jun 16, 2007 2:34 pm

Ok im planning to get a new tank its hopefully going to be a 69L tank but if not i have to settle for a 29L i want to keep 3 guppies in there but i sawsome loaches at Pets at home and i fell in love^^ they grow up to 6cm but i found they like to sttay in groups x.x i was wandering if there was a small loach that doesn't have to have lots of other loaches (i was thinking of buying two...) My mum also wants other types of fish aswell and im really not sure it will fit in the tank.. Help![/b]

yeah, we can tell you love loaches... And Big Bold Orange type.

Are you new to having an aquarium?
Loaches like really big tanks like 120L and above...
Start out with really easy to care for fish like guppies..

ALL Loaches should be kept in a group of at least 5... so... there aren't really many that are good in a duo. infact the less you have of them the more UNLIKELY you are to see them...
many tanks...

got to love my fat little wobbly wigglies...

Yes.. sorry for the orange :P

Oh no =[ so i can't have loaches i found out im getting a 69L tank and i read in the shops leaflet 1cm of tropical fish per Litre doesn't that mean if i get 5 loaches that full growth is 6 cm they will cover 6Litres each??

Yes - i am really new to tropical fish.. or any fish for that matter x.x

Yes - i am also getting guppies i would like guppies and another species of fish too.. I wanted loaches but now i see that they atleast need 120 tank... *Hmmm*
