I'd like to hear experiences, testimonials, recommendations on a preferred substrate in a clown loach tank.
Reason i ask is im planning a tank build that will most likely be my loaches final upgrade and wanted a shove in the right direction. I want to make it a bare bottom, maybe with a panel of stone or slate covering the bottom. I've seen them do well in many types of tanks but would like to know if bare bottom would be an issue.
I currently have 8 loaches ranging from 2-4" in a somewhat planted tank with floramax substrate, which they seem to enjoy.
