I'm trying to plan out my tank moves for the next few years and I want some of your advice on how large of a tank I will need over the next few years?
7-9 clown loaches right now ranging from 2-6 inches
4 Angels
4 YoYo loaches
2 SAE
1 L-200
1 L-240
1 Striped Rapheal

id say a 75 would last a long time but something around a 100 for life

I would usually advise at least a 5ft long by 18inch wide tank for clown loaches, but because you have so many i would personally opt for at least a 6x2x2 tank. Clown loaches do grow really slowly though.

6x2x2 is the plan I just wanted to make sure other keepers would agree thank you for the replies.

a 180 would be plenty and you could add more fish

I'd say a 100gal would be a great.

A 6' tank (125-180 gallons) would fit the bill.
