They can get to be 12" but grow very slow. They do best in groups of at least 5 or 6. Bottom feeders that will accept most any foods but love the blood worms.

Ah a jaguar, green terror, male covict, and then 4 red hook silver dollars to use as dithers

If you do that, watch the jag once it gets bigger. He will grow quicker than the loaches and if he tries to eat one of them it could be bad for him as well.

ya dont worry im getting the jag as the last fish in the tank, could i go with 5 clown loaches in there do you think or is that to much

What size is this tank? Even your convict will be eaten eventually. IMO, avoid the jag.
