Kub Tank Setup

[Rychek]

Due to a lack of space and the potential stock having ich, my plans for clowns have died a horrible, gurling death. However, I won't be detered from my loach addiction!

I currently have a 55 gal tank with the following:

Black sand
Marineland Magnum 350 canister
Marineland Penguin 160 Bio-wheel HOB (It's an old model, but works great)
5 Kubotia Botia
3 Pangio Oblonga
7 Pangio Myseri
5 Neon Tetras
3 Sword Tails
1 Otto Cat (I'm not sure what happened to the other one)
1 Blue Gourami

I know the Kuhli's and Botias don't make the best tankmates and I'm working on that situation. My question though is how many Kubotia can I reasonably keep in this tank?

[Rychek]

Would a total of 10 Kubs be too many? Or perhaps 5 zebra loaches to go along with my 5 kubs?

I don't see a problem with 10, only the combo between the Pangio and the kubs. Knowing the kubs, they're really too feisty.

I'm working on getting the Pangios out. They would be much happier in a different tank.
