CL tank size minimum

[frankthetank]

Love the little guys! They have easily become my favorite! What do you think the minimum size tank is to house quite a few? I read on a handful of sites that about 50 gallons is the minimum. I'd like to make a clown loach specific tank and am just waiting for a used tank to come onto the market to snag. So what size should I be looking for?

75 gallons since they do better in larger shoals.

I would say a 55 would be minimum. They grow very slowly and would take years and years to outgrow a 55.

As long as the tank is at least 18" wide, it should be good. So....75 or larger.

You could always check the wikipedia page [that I edited to say 75 gallons].
