Clown Loach

[ewurm]

sorry guys
one more question
could I keep one green terror(fake one with the orange on tail) with like 5 clown loaches in that 75 gal if i put those fish in a different tank?

I recommend only one cichlid per tank with loaches, they don't react well to aggression in the tank. One cichlid should be fine, as long as the loaches are big enough to not get eaten.

I think I will eventually have like 6 or more loaches and maybe one small green terror
anyways I'm really enjoying the loaches and thanks for the help

Keep it to 1 GT and the loaches will be fine. Always keep an eye on the GT as hopefully he won't aggro.

If the loaches are bigger then the cichlids they should be alright. I have two with Mbuna that are always fighting.. I have never seen the loaches even hide.

I agree... nothing out of the ordinary here. Though I thought this behavior was a bit neurotic the first time I saw it. Very typical if they are placed in a new environment.

They'll take a huge variety of foods. The tank mine are in gets color-enhancing tropical flakes, spirulina flakes, algae wafers, shrimp pellets, cichlid pellets, freeze-dried krill, freeze-dried earthworms, frozen bloodworms, and occasionally frozen beefheart and they eat a little of everything.

Check out my blog, I suggest a good variety. Next time, feel free to start your own thread, rather than post a question on an existing one.
