Gone fishin...
Someone offered me a 2 inch clown loach. If it were in a 55 gal with a Pictus Cat (3") and a small Pleco (3") would it be alright?

Or am I nuts? :screwy:
 
The thing is, I got a good offer on a school of 6 - I'd like to put 5 in my 150 gal and 1 in my 55 with my Pictus (which isn't even large enough to eat a rosy red).

Will it thrive, or will it develop some mental disorder and spaz-out?

Don't split the 6 up. Cls need to be kept in multiples. When Cls are by them selfs they will either become reclusive and hide all the time or it will become aggressive.

OK thanks. I needed to know that. I hope I can come across a deal on 5 of them..
 
OK So I got 6 CL's. They're small ranging from 2-4", and I picked up 4 more Pictus-Cat's..

So 6 CL's and 5 Pictus and 1 Pleco living in a 55 gal - once the CL's grow large enough to house with my Oscar they'll be transferred to the 150 gal.

Thanks for the awesome advice MFK.
