hi i have a 7 foot by 2.5 foot by 3 foot deep tank so i was wondering how many CLs i can keep in a school and also wat i should feed them for maximum growth!
 
Might want 10 5-6 inches clown loaches to start with. How large are you going to buy them? The main idea is to vary the food menu. Feed them everything you can provide them and they'll eat.:) Be sure to treat your loaches with levamisole hydrochloride if these appear to be skinny.

I think you can get away with at least 40-50 in there. Maybe more. Of course if they hit 12", that will be a bit much but you won't have anyproblems getting rid of them. Check out my blog in my sig for loach diet tips.
 
ime, cl's will eat almost everything ....mine eat omega shrimp pellets, omega one flakes, spirulina flakes, cucumbers, spinach, and they swallow cichlid gold
 
wah thanks guys lots of info ;) i have a pond if they ever need extra room but if i buy them at juve age it will be like years b4 that is necesary :)
 
I'd say go for 30-50 why not this is all about the next level right....
 
i bet maybe around 30 CL would be nice..they eat lot of things..hey. did't ur 7 ft tank filled with 2 RTSC, jardini and a arapaima..eventually CL will wash away man..
