hey guys i just bought three 3 inch clowns for my 75 gallon tank for leftover eaters. The tank mates are 4 4.5 inch bichirs and 2 medium angel fish. will it work out?? The bichirs seem to have no interest in the clowns. Today i noticed some small nick on the loack's tails. what sould Of happened?? I doubt it was from the bichirs cuz if they did bit the loach, a whole chunk with be gone. nothing serious. Also what is the growth rate of the loaches. I can't wait for a monster loach!! i feed them sinking worm pellets. is that ok?? what should I add?
 
Look at the mouth size. If that's compatible, it will work.
 
Clowns do bite each others tail and scratch with their subocular spines under the eyes. Their squabbles is their own little battle for hierarchy.
 
one died and and another disappeared. got a replacement. doing fine.
 
ive got loaches in with a birchir and i havent seen any problems in over a year. there is only one birchir, with 5 yo yos , 3 stratia and one clown.
plus a pair of raphiel cats, and a L240. in a 125
