Just snapped a few pics of these guys so I thought I'd share. They're in a 3'x18"x18" tank with some sterbai corys, a few plecs and 25 golden xray tetras. There's 5 now, but I'm going to remove the sumbissive male as he's getting picked on by the alpha. I've dropped the temp down to 24C now that the clown loaches are in my 4', and I'll give them a cooler winter to hopefully trigger some lovin!

Pics are mostly of the alpha male and [hopefully] his mrs.

they look great! I love that setup too, but why not use a darker substrate to bring out their color more?
