    Sorry for your loss Caudelia, its never nice too lose fish, even fry or eggs for that matter. All the Loaches are awesome on this thread, I always wanted a clown loach but they get too big for my liking and my critters will never make it. I have some Kuhli`s in my 4ft and they are very nice and peaceful. What loach can I keep that doesn't grow too big and will be critter friendly?

    If I may ask...what size tank do you have & what do you feed them? I really like them & want to learn all there is...going to get another clown this afternoon & 10 tiger barbs for my 4ft...Will upgrade to a 6ft next year or when they outgrow the 4ft

    Tell me...Do I reaallllllly need to put flowers in my tank with the loaches & barbs? If so I need co2 right & all that extra equipment? They really seem to enjoy the Tetra bits I bought them...they still seem to quite shy when I approach the tank uploadfromtaptalk1407084226769.jpg

    they wont be shy for long as long as you have enough hiding spaces fro them. they all need their own lil nook

    Hello peeps wondering if anyone wants to take my clowns off my hands. Doing a tank rescape and don't have a place to keep them for the long period. Will have to re-cycle my tank. So I'd rather get them a new home than torture them to death. Love the little guys. Have 4. About 6-7cm each.

    Pm if your interested we can talk price

    Unfortunately, I lost one of these big guys, so I sold the remaining three.

    But I love clown loaches so much, and now there's a empty space (in my heart!) so I'm seriously considering getting a little school of small ones going again...
