Anyone here keep Botai Striata

I have a 55g tank and I am thinking of getting some of these, but I have only kept Clown Loach in a 75g tank before, never kept these guys.

Mostly wandering about there temperament as i have smaller fish, (Guppies, Panda Corydoras, etc) in my tank
 
Should be fine with ur guppies and cories. Usually keep a group of them (5 or more). It'll help to keep them busy with their own kind. Avoid nipping other fish. Need sand as a substrate as they always rummaging thru sand for food.

Thanks,

Yes my tank has a sandy substrate because I keep Corydoras.

So i will then get me some Botai for my Tank
 
So I decided not to get these guys yet, after reading a bit more on them it seems that they show aggression towards smaller bottom feeders like Corydoras catfish, anyone that keep these guys do you keep them with Corydoras as well?

I would love to get some of these but I do not want to sit with a problem where they bully my Sterbai and Panda Corydoras
 
Okay so i have 4 Clown loaches, 2 @ +- 6cm and 2 @ +-4cm. But they are very shy, i only see them when feeding, otherwise they always hide in the cave that my Driftwood forms.

is this normal behaviour for clown loaches?
