Bottom Feeder

[zajlaus]

I have a 75 gal tank stocked with 4 small 3 inch jaguars. Waiting to see if I get a pair. Anyways, I wanted to put in a clown loach as a bottom feeder, as I've read they can be kept with cichlids. Will a similarly sized clown loach suffice?

Thx

As long as the loach can't be eaten, it's fine. I would suggest a half dozen, otherwise you'll rarely see it.

Yea they do better in groups. Another reason you might want to get them in groups is most likely one or two will be killed before the Jags learn not to mess with them

If you can dish out the extra cash, try and get the bigger cl's, those jags are gonna grow quick if you give them proper care. The loaches don't grow nearly as fast..
