Clown loaches in community tank ????

[Southjerseycichlidz]

im setting up my 125. Making it a nice community tank angel fish tetras may slip a few of my older discus in there but I also love clown loaches. Would they be fine in a community enviorment? Help

They will be fine in a community aquarium , but you will get mixed reviews when it comes to mixing them with Discus.

Just be careful, they're highly addictive.

Yea that's what I've been hearing not to sure if I'm gonna put the discus in yet

The constant, high activity of the CL will likely stress out the discus. Plus, discus won't be able to compete for food against greedy CL

Had never heard Discus and CL's may not be good together nice to know. Your Angels may eat your Tetras depending on which ones you use. This I didn't know was an issue but read it when we were looking up Angels.

+10 totally agreed with Xraycer!
*First I thought CL is only bottom feeders but after long term keeping them they are very greedy eaters and will roam surface area for food during feeding time and they will chase out other fishes and in long term CL will outgrow your tank, your discus!
